2021 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev 1.0L Petrol · F2 SMG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with brake component condition. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 12,245 miles noted that both rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. This mirrors an identical advisory from the previous test in December 2024 at 9,468 miles, indicating that the condition has not improved despite the year elapsed between testing intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,449 miles per year. The gap of 2,777 miles between the December 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car sits for long periods or performs sparingly. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and suspension, it often contributes to the surface corrosion observed on the brake discs, as infrequent use prevents the friction material from clearing away rust from the metal surfaces. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine the depth of the pitting and scoring. Since the fault has recurred across consecutive annual tests, the discs likely require replacement soon to ensure consistent braking performance and to prevent premature pad wear. The tester also flagged an offside rear child seat in 2024 that obstructed a full inspection of the adult belt, so the buyer must ensure all seat belts are unobstructed and functioning correctly without mechanical damage.
