2020 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Petrol · BT70 JZP

This 2020 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV holds a clean MOT certificate dated 14 May 2026, passed at 31,371 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past three years has been largely stable, with only minor advisories and no recurring mechanical or structural failures. A single failed test on the same day as the pass indicates the previous tyre defects were identified and rectified promptly before the re-test, which is a positive indicator of responsive ownership rather than neglect. The vehicle has covered 31,371 miles over approximately six years, averaging roughly 5,228 miles per year. This is low for its age and suggests predominantly short urban or suburban journeys rather than sustained motorway use. The mileage progression shows a notable gap between November 2023 at 14,388 miles and May 2024 at 15,163 miles, representing only 775 miles over six months, followed by a jump to 21,333 miles by May 2025, an increase of 6,170 miles in one year. The most recent year from May 2025 to May 2026 saw a further 10,038-mile increase, suggesting a shift toward heavier use. Buyers should verify whether this recent uptick reflects a change in ownership or usage pattern, as prolonged low-mileage storage can cause its own issues, including stale fuel, flat-spotted tyres, and moisture-related corrosion in brake components and exhaust systems. The most recent advisory history centres entirely on tyre condition. The May 2025 test flagged a frayed central rear seat belt webbing, a minor interior concern that did not recur. The May 2026 failure identified perishing and cracking on both front tyres plus a cut deep enough to expose ply or cords on the offside rear. All four tyres have since been addressed, but the pattern of multiple tyre defects appearing simultaneously suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods or driven on underinflated tyres. A buyer should inspect all four tyre sidewalls carefully for age-related cracking, regardless of remaining tread depth, and confirm the date codes match recent replacement. The spare tyre, if present, should also be checked. Beyond tyres, the absence of any suspension, brake, exhaust, or structural corrosion advisories across five tests is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. Low-mileage vehicles can develop seized brake calipers, binding handbrake mechanisms, and corroded brake discs from infrequent use rather than wear. A test drive should confirm the brakes do not pull, drag, or produce uneven pedal feel. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for surface corrosion, particularly around mounting points and box sections, as short trips accelerate moisture accumulation. Overall, the MOT record presents a mechanically sound vehicle with no serious recurring faults, but the tyre history and recent mileage acceleration warrant a focused physical inspection before purchase.
