2026 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DAV 349Y

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT data. The most recent test, conducted on 27 October 2025 at 3,861 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This indicates no active mechanical or structural faults were identified at that time. With only a single MOT entry on file, there is no recurring fault trend to analyse, and the maintenance record suggests the vehicle has remained in sound operational condition through its first mandatory test cycle. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2022-registered vehicle. At 3,861 miles recorded by late 2025, the annualised usage sits at roughly 965 miles per year, well below the UK average of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. The MOT history contains no prior entries, meaning the vehicle's first test occurred around three years after registration, which is standard for a newer car. The absence of earlier records combined with such low mileage raises the possibility of extended periods of inactivity. Prolonged standing can cause flat-spotted tyres, moisture accumulation in brake fluid and the exhaust system, and deterioration of rubber suspension bushes and seals through lack of lubrication cycling. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, brake discs, and rubber suspension components during any in-person inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that have sat stationary for extended periods often develop surface corrosion on brake discs and may exhibit perished or dried-out rubber bushes, particularly on the front lower arms and rear beam bushings. The 1.0-litre EcoBoost MHEV powertrain should be checked for any signs of oil dilution, a known characteristic of short-trip petrol engines, and the 48-volt mild hybrid system's battery health and regenerative braking function should be verified. The exhaust system and DPF, if fitted, warrant inspection for carbon build-up from incomplete regeneration cycles typical of very low-mileage use. Structurally, the vehicle is too young to present significant corrosion risk, but a thorough underside inspection remains prudent. Check the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for any signs of surface rust or underseal damage. The absence of any MOT advisories or failures is encouraging, yet the extremely low mileage means this record reflects minimal real-world stress testing. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician, including a diagnostic scan of the MHEV system and a road test to assess brake feel and suspension compliance, would provide the most reliable assessment of the vehicle's true mechanical condition.
