2026 Ford Puma Select EV Electric · BC26 APF

The 2026 Ford Puma Select EV currently has no recorded MOT history on the DVSA database. As this vehicle is only just registered in 2026 and the latest test outcome is unavailable, there is no verifiable maintenance trend, recent pass or fail result, or historical defect pattern to evaluate from testing records. Prospective buyers should note that the absence of MOT data is entirely consistent with a newly registered vehicle that has either not yet reached the three-year exemption threshold or has not yet undergone its first statutory roadworthiness examination. This means the mechanical condition of the car cannot be assessed through official test history alone, and physical inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended prior to purchase. The recorded mileage for this vehicle is unknown, and there is insufficient data to compare against the vehicle's age or to calculate an annual usage rate. As a 2026 model, any mileage accrued would be very low in absolute terms, which carries both advantages and certain age-related risks. Low-mileage vehicles often retain component life in mechanical wear items such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components, but they can suffer from standing degradation in areas such as brake disc corrosion, fluid deterioration, and 12V auxiliary battery depletion. If usage has been predominantly short urban trips, which is common for an EV of this class, particular attention should be paid to the high-voltage battery state of health and charging cycle history, as irregular or shallow cycling patterns can affect long-term cell performance. Given the lack of MOT history and the newness of the vehicle, the buyer inspection should focus primarily on verifying dealer preparation standards, warranty documentation, and pre-delivery checks. Tyres should be examined for manufacturing date codes on the sidewalls, as even new vehicles can have older stock tyres fitted which may exhibit compound hardening or micro-perishing. All exterior panels, door seals, and boot or bonnet rubbers should be checked for even fit and finish, as inconsistent gaps may indicate panel replacement or transit damage. The charging port, cable, and any supplied granny charger should be inspected for damage, and the cabin and frunk compartments checked for moisture ingress which could affect electrical systems. For an EV of this age, the buyer should request documented evidence of the high-voltage battery health report, ideally through a diagnostic scan showing state of health percentage and individual cell voltage balance. The 12V auxiliary battery should be tested for resting voltage and charging system output, as a depleted 12V battery is a common cause of EV starting and drivability issues even when the main traction battery is fully charged. Brake discs and calipers should be visually examined for any signs of corrosion or seizing from low use, and a firm footbrake application should produce smooth, even response without pulling or shudder. Finally, verify that all driver assistance features, infotainment functions, and software modules are operating as intended, as software updates and recalls on new EVs can sometimes be outstanding at the point of sale, and confirming a clean recall completion record from a Ford main agent provides additional peace of mind.
