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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 38,648 miles passed despite noted advisories for perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically functional, the rubber components are reaching the end of their operational life due to age rather than wear, which is common for vehicles with low annual mileage. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 17,817 miles and the March 2024 test at 21,730 miles, the car covered roughly 4,000 miles, followed by a steeper increase to 38,648 miles. This low usage generally reduces stress on the MHEV drivetrain and suspension, but it explains the premature degradation of the tyres seen in the record. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system during a physical inspection. The history shows recurring pitted and scored rear brake discs in both 2023 and 2024. While these did not cause a failure, the persistence of the issue suggests the vehicle may suffer from surface corrosion during periods of sitting stationary. You should verify if the current rear discs have been replaced or if the pads are causing uneven wear against the metal rotors. The condition of the tyres is also a primary concern. Given the March 2026 advisory for cracking and perishing, check the sidewalls for deep fissures that could indicate structural failure despite sufficient tread depth. The previous uneven wear on front tyres noted in 2024 also warrants a wheel alignment check to ensure that a new set of tyres is not prematurely worn out.
