2025 Ford Puma Select EV Electricity · DP25 CFJ

The vehicle in question is a 2025 Ford Puma Select EV and, as a model less than three years old, it is still exempt from the mandatory MOT test until the first anniversary of its registration in 2028. Consequently there is no MOT history on record and no test outcome can be referenced to gauge a maintenance trend. In the absence of any documented failures, advisories or pass certificates, the only inference that can be drawn is that the car has not yet been subjected to the statutory inspection regime, so a definitive assessment of its roadworthiness trend cannot be made from MOT data alone. Mileage for this Puma is not supplied, which precludes any direct comparison of kilometres travelled against its two‑year age. For a contemporary electric hatchback, average annual mileage in the UK typically ranges between 8,000 and 12,000 miles (13,000‑19,000 km). If the vehicle has been driven within that envelope it would be considered normal use; however, a significantly lower figure could indicate limited utilisation and the attendant risks of component ageing while stationary, whereas a markedly higher figure would suggest a more intensive usage pattern that could accelerate wear on suspension bushings, tyre tread and high‑voltage battery cycles. Without the exact figure the buyer should treat the car as potentially either low‑mileage, lightly used or as having accrued hidden mileage that may not be reflected in the odometer. Given the lack of MOT data and the uncertainty around mileage, the prospective buyer should conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection focused on age‑related degradation. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, hardening or dry‑rot, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods, and verify that tread depth is uniform across the tread width. Inspect the wheel arches and under‑carriage for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, suspension mounting points and brake components; rust on the brake discs or caliper pins can lead to uneven braking or binding. Check the high‑voltage battery health by requesting a diagnostic read‑out of state‑of‑charge, capacity and any degradation warnings, and ensure the 12 V auxiliary battery terminals are clean, free of corrosion and that the battery holds a charge, as a weak auxiliary battery can affect electronic systems and the vehicle’s ability to initialise the main drive system. In addition to the physical checks, confirm that the service history is documented in the manufacturer’s logbook, with particular attention to any scheduled high‑voltage coolant replacements, inverter coolant checks and software updates that are time‑based rather than mileage‑based. Verify that the charging port and cable are free from damage, that the onboard charger shows no error codes, and that the vehicle’s regenerative braking system operates smoothly without unusual noises or pulsations. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal whine from the electric motor, monitor for vibration or shudder when accelerating, and assess the steering for any play or clunk that could indicate worn suspension joints. Any irregularities in these areas should be investigated further by a qualified EV technician before committing to purchase.
