2020 Ford Puma ST-Line X First ED Mhev 1.0L Petrol · CF20 EUV

This Ford Puma has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across the last five tests, most recently passing on 5 January 2026 at 24,751 miles. The consistent pass status suggests no major recurring failures in brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity over the past two years. However, the most recent test was conducted just seven months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age—an MOT every 12 months is standard, and a gap of less than six months would be preferable for a used purchase. The absence of advisories in any test indicates the tester did not identify any latent issues requiring immediate attention, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 24,751 miles over six years equates to approximately 4,125 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this type. There are no gaps in the MOT record that would suggest prolonged periods of disuse, as all tests were conducted within the 12-month window. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain fluids, it can also indicate extended periods of storage, which may have allowed for minor corrosion or seal degradation. The lack of advisories on emissions or structural integrity does not rule out subtle issues like rust in wheel arches or underbody corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored in damp conditions. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension components—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—where low mileage does not guarantee longevity. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension. The brakes, though never failed, should be inspected for binding calipers, uneven pad wear, or excessive corrosion on discs, especially if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. Examine the underbody for signs of corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust development. Finally, verify the condition of the hybrid battery and cooling system, as hybrid vehicles are prone to thermal and electrical degradation over time, even with low mileage.
