2025 Ford Puma Premium EV Electric · EY25 FSA

As a 2025 model year Ford Puma Premium EV, this vehicle would not yet be eligible for its first MOT test until it reaches three years of age, which falls in 2028 under current DVSA regulations. Consequently, there is no official MOT history to review at this stage, and no prior test outcomes, advisories, or failure points can be referenced. While the absence of MOT data does not raise any immediate statutory concerns, it does mean that the prospective buyer must rely entirely on a physical inspection and service documentation rather than a regulatory history to assess the vehicle's roadworthiness. Given that this is a near-new car, the maintenance trend should be considered effectively neutral, with the assumption that Ford's manufacturer servicing schedule has been adhered to from the point of first registration. The recorded mileage for this vehicle is not available in the supplied documentation, which makes a meaningful assessment of annual usage impossible at this stage. In the absence of mileage data, it is prudent to verify the current odometer reading against the warranty and service book entries to ensure consistency and to detect any potential discrepancy. For an electric vehicle of this age, low annual mileage can be just as problematic as excessively high mileage, particularly where prolonged periods of standing can lead to specific degradation issues that warrant attention during a pre-purchase evaluation. Given the limited DVSA record, physical inspection must focus on age-and-usage-appropriate checks rather than on historical failure points. On a Ford Puma EV of this vintage, particular attention should be paid to the 12-volt auxiliary battery health, as low-voltage batteries in EVs can deteriorate quickly if the vehicle is left unused for extended periods, leading to starting or system faults. The high-voltage traction battery state of health should be verified through a diagnostic scan, as should the functionality of the charging port and onboard systems. Tyres should be examined for sidewall perishing and cracking from age rather than simply tread depth, even on a near-new car that may have been standing on forecourts or in storage. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion and binding, as EVs rely heavily on regenerative braking, meaning the friction brakes may see minimal use and are susceptible to surface rust and seized caliper mechanisms. Under-bonnet and under-vehicle checks should include a thorough inspection for any fluid leaks, with particular reference to the coolant system for the high-voltage battery and motor, as well as the standard brake fluid, which is hygroscopic and degrades over time regardless of mileage. The suspension, including coil springs, bushes, and anti-roll bar links, should be inspected for any signs of corrosion or component degradation, and a test drive should be conducted over varied road surfaces to detect any knocks, clonks, or uneven ride quality. Given that this is a 2025 model, all fluids, filters, and cabin components should be within manufacturer service intervals, but verifying the service book stamps and any remaining Ford warranty coverage remains essential. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified independent technician familiar with electric vehicles is strongly recommended to provide a complete mechanical assessment prior to commitment.
