2022 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev Auto 1.0L Petrol · CV22 MYW

Consistent roadworthiness defines this vehicle, which has maintained a clean record across its initial statutory inspections. The most recent assessment conducted on 21 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects noted, mirroring the outcome of the previous inspection in March 2025. This sequence indicates a stable mechanical baseline during the vehicle's first four years of operation, with no recurring failures or structural concerns identified by testers to date. Accumulating 19,379 miles over a four-year period results in an average of approximately 4,845 miles per annum, which sits well below the typical national usage for a vehicle of this type. While this lower mileage profile limits the total rotational wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it necessitates a focused inspection of brake friction surfaces and suspension bushings. Vehicles that see limited annual use can occasionally suffer from surface corrosion on brake discs if they remain stationary for extended periods, though the current clean MOT history suggests the braking system has functioned within acceptable parameters during testing. During your test drive, pay close attention to the transition between the mild-hybrid electric motor and the petrol engine, as any hesitation or unexpected vibration could point to issues with the integrated starter-generator or the associated belt drive system. Listen for any metallic clunks or knocking noises originating from the front suspension when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as these are common indicators of wear in the drop links or anti-roll bar bushes. Given the vehicle's age, ensure the steering feels precise with no wandering or pulling to one side, which would suggest a need for a wheel alignment check. Finally, verify the operation of the automatic transmission by performing a series of gear changes at varying speeds to ensure there is no shuddering or delayed engagement. Check that the electronic parking brake engages and releases smoothly without any warning lights appearing on the dashboard, as these systems are sensitive to battery voltage and sensor health. While the MOT history is currently clear of any structural or mechanical advisories, a thorough physical inspection of the underside should still be conducted to confirm the absence of any early-stage corrosion or weeping seals that may not have reached the threshold for a formal test failure.
