2026 Ford Puma Premium EV Electricity · DP26 WXW

No MOT test result is currently recorded against this 2026 Ford Puma Premium EV on the DVSA database, and consequently there is no historical pattern of pass or fail outcomes from which a maintenance trend can be evaluated. As the vehicle is first registered in 2026, it would not yet be due for its initial MOT test under current UK regulations, which require an MOT only once a vehicle is three years old. Therefore, the absence of any recorded test data should not be interpreted as a cause for concern, but rather as a reflection of the car's newness within the fleet. A prospective buyer should, however, request sight of the pre-delivery inspection documentation and any manufacturer warranty records to substantiate that the vehicle has been maintained in accordance with Ford's prescribed schedules from the point of supply. Because the recorded mileage is not available within the dataset and cannot be cross-referenced against the vehicle's age or prior MOT readings, it is not possible to calculate an annual usage rate or to identify any periods of inactivity or intensive use. The 2026 Ford Puma Premium EV is a relatively new addition to Ford's electrified line-up, and as an electric vehicle its mechanical wear profile differs markedly from that of a conventional petrol or diesel car, with fewer consumable service items and no exhaust or clutch components to degrade. Nonetheless, the buyer should verify the present odometer reading against the warranty and service book, and ensure that the high-voltage battery state of health is documented, as this is the single most significant indicator of long-term mechanical and economic value in any used electric vehicle. Should the mileage prove exceptionally low, particular attention must be paid to components that suffer from standing rather than wear-related degradation. Given that there are no MOT advisories or failure points to address, the buyer's inspection focus should shift towards age and calendar-related deterioration, which can affect even low-mileage vehicles. Tyres fitted at the point of manufacture may exhibit sidewall perishing or cracking from oxidation if the car has been stored or used only sporadically, and the tread depth should be measured across the full width of each tyre to confirm even wear consistent with correct wheel alignment. Brake discs and calipers on an EV that has seen limited road use can suffer from surface corrosion and seizure due to insufficient mechanical wiping action, so each caliper should be checked for free operation and the discs inspected for any pitting or lipping. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems on an electric vehicle, is also prone to premature failure if the car has been left standing for extended periods, and a load test or resting voltage check is strongly advised prior to purchase. In terms of fluid servicing, although the Puma EV has no engine oil or gearbox fluid in the conventional sense, the brake fluid, coolant circuits for both the thermal management of the passenger cabin and the high-voltage battery pack, and the reduction gearbox oil all remain subject to calendar-based degradation and manufacturer-specified replacement intervals. The service book should be examined for stamps or digital records confirming that these intervals have been observed. On a test drive, the buyer should listen for any abnormal sounds from the drivetrain, verify smooth regenerative braking function, and confirm that the high-voltage charging system operates correctly across both AC and DC inputs where the vehicle is so equipped. Finally, the diagnostic trouble memory should be scanned using Ford-approved equipment to confirm that no fault codes relating to the battery management system, electric drive units, or safety systems are stored, as such codes may not trigger any dashboard indicator but can materially affect long-term reliability.
