2022 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Petrol · CP71 EKW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on January 6 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumable items rather than mechanical failure. While the car passed without major defects, the transition from a worn front tyre in 2025 to perishing rear tyres in 2026 suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. At 29,289 miles, the Puma has averaged approximately 7,322 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2025 test at 20,633 miles and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered 8,656 miles. This consistent accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting forant, though the low mileage does not excuse the age-related degradation of rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres and suspension-related hardware. The 2025 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge often indicates a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention. The 2026 report of cracking and perishing on both rear tyres indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life due to age despite having sufficient tread depth. Verify the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the low-mileage hybrid braking system is not experiencing excessive corrosion.
