2021 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev 1.0L Petrol · EO71 AHF

The November 2025 test at 16,644 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing a faultless record stretching back to the first recorded check in June 2024. The maintenance trend is stable and exceptionally clean; not a single defect or advisory item appears across three consecutive certificates. Mileage sits at roughly 3,300 miles per year, confirming very light use for a five-year-old vehicle. An early test in June 2024 at 10,242 miles, followed by the routine anniversary test five months later at 11,508 miles, suggests a possible ownership change or pre-sale preparation rather than a failure-driven retest. The subsequent jump to 16,644 miles by November 2025 shows a slight increase in annual distance covered, yet overall figures remain low enough to raise the typical concerns associated with extended periods standing. A buyer should focus inspection on components that degrade through time rather than wear. Brake discs and calipers are prime candidates for surface corrosion and piston seizure after long lay-ups; verify the parking brake operates freely on the rear units. Check tyre sidewalls for perishing and date codes, as tread depth will likely remain legal despite age. On the MHEV powertrain, confirm the 48-volt lithium-ion battery health and cooling system integrity, and ensure the belt-driven starter generator tensioner shows no signs of dryness. Suspension bushes and steering gaiters should be probed for stiffness or cracking caused by lack of movement, while a full fluid history — brake, coolant, and transmission — becomes critical when service intervals are stretched by low mileage.
