2022 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · CV22 VHT

The 2022 Ford Puma ST‑Line MHEV is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 May 2026 at 36,170 miles. The test recorded only a minor exhaust leak classified under 6.1.2 (a), which does not constitute a failure. No other defects were noted, indicating that the vehicle’s mechanical condition remains stable compared with the previous MOT on 5 June 2025 at 31,734 miles. Mileage has increased by 4,436 miles over the eleven‑month interval, equating to roughly 4,000 miles per year, well below the average annual usage for a four‑year‑old car. The record shows continuous registration with no extended periods of inactivity, suggesting consistent, moderate use rather than abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on the front exhaust system to verify that the leak is limited to the gasket or pipe joint and has not progressed to a more serious structural breach. Inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs and rear brake calipers is advisable, as these components often show wear on higher‑mileage vehicles, and a visual check for corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches is prudent given the vehicle’s age. Overall, the maintenance history reflects responsible ownership with no recurring serious faults; the only noted issue is a minor exhaust defect that can be addressed during a routine service. Provided the buyer confirms the exhaust repair and inspects the highlighted mechanical areas, the Puma presents a sound basis for purchase.
