2022 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Petrol · FL22 ALU

The most recent MOT examination conducted on 18 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Based on the available history, the maintenance trend for this vehicle is stable and positive. The absence of any current faults, following a minor tyre advisory in the previous year, indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition and that previous points of concern have been addressed. With a recorded mileage of 19,787 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged fewer than 5,000 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally suggests reduced wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, it can also indicate a pattern of short journeys or extended periods of inactivity, which presents a different set of mechanical considerations compared to high-mileage motorway use. Given the low annual usage, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the rubber components and braking system. You should carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres can degrade due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and you should listen for any sticking or binding calipers during the test drive, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the braking surfaces clean. Furthermore, the 12V battery health should be verified, as infrequent use or short trips can lead to premature sulfation and reduced cranking power. It is essential to review the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been carried out based on the manufacturer's time intervals rather than solely on mileage, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled. Confirm that all service book stamps are present and that the mild hybrid system is operating smoothly without any hesitation during stop-start transitions.
