2022 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · BD22 VFV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 4 June 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the previous test in May 2025 was completed without any defects or advisories. While the most recent certificate indicates the vehicle remains roadworthy, the emergence of a mechanical advisory suggests that the car is now entering a phase where routine consumable replacement is required to maintain its current condition. With a recorded mileage of 34,105 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,500 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for this model, suggesting a balanced mix of driving environments. There is no evidence of excessive wear associated with high-mileage usage, nor are there concerns regarding the degradation often found in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods standing. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, as the latest MOT specifically noted that the brake pads are wearing thin. During a test drive, listen for high-pitched squealing or grinding noises and feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven pad wear or scored brake discs. It is highly likely that a replacement of the brake pads will be required in the immediate future to ensure optimal stopping performance and avoid costly damage to the discs. Beyond the brakes, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres, checking for uneven wear patterns that might suggest suspension bush degradation or incorrect wheel alignment. Given the age of the vehicle and its mild hybrid powertrain, verify the health of the 12V battery and ensure the service history confirms that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals. Finally, inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking to ensure the rubber remains supple and safe for high-speed use.
