2024 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev Hybrid electric (clean) · GL24 DHC

The vehicle in question, a 2024 Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV, has no recorded MOT history on the DVSA database at the time of this assessment. As a relatively recent registration, it is likely either too new to have yet required its first statutory roadworthiness test, or it has been registered or transferred within the past twelve months. Because there are no recorded pass or fail outcomes, advisories, or mileage readings, it is not possible to identify any maintenance trend or evaluate whether the vehicle is improving or worsening mechanically. A walk-around and pre-purchase inspection is therefore essential, as the lack of an MOT certificate means the vehicle has not yet been independently scrutinised under DVSA standards. With regard to mileage, no odometer readings have been supplied and there are no prior MOT records from which to extrapolate annual usage. Given that the vehicle is a 2024 model, even an average annual mileage of approximately 7,500 to 10,000 miles would be reasonable, but without confirmation from the dashboard or service documentation, this cannot be verified. It is therefore advised that the prospective buyer obtains a definitive mileage figure and cross-references it with the service book or digital service history to ensure the recorded figure is consistent and free from discrepancies. The age of the vehicle suggests that it should be on or approaching its first scheduled manufacturer service, and any absence of servicing evidence should be treated as a flag warranting further investigation. Because the car has no MOT record yet, any specific recurring defect analysis is unavailable. However, as a nearly new Puma ST-Line, the buyer should still approach this purchase with diligence. It would be prudent to check for any signs of standing damage, such as paintwork scratches, kerbed alloy wheels, or dents sustained whilst parked. The mild-hybrid system, which uses a belt-driven starter generator, should be inspected for any warning lights on the instrument cluster or messages relating to the 48-volt system. On a test drive, pay particular attention to the operation of the regenerative braking system, ensuring smooth transitions between regenerative and friction braking, and listen for any abnormal drivetrain noises. The clutch should engage smoothly, and the six-speed manual gearbox, if fitted, should select all ratios without excessive effort or crunching. The Ford Puma ST-Line is also known for its dynamic suspension setup, so on the test drive listen for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over bumps, which may suggest worn anti-roll bar bushes or drop links. Tyres should be inspected for even wear across the tread, as uneven wear could point to tracking or geometry issues, and sidewalls should be examined for any cracking or perishing, even on low-mileage vehicles, particularly if the car has stood unused for any length of time. Brake discs should be free from excessive corrosion, and calipers should not show signs of seizing. Finally, verify the 12-volt battery health, since vehicles with mild-hybrid systems can place additional demand on the conventional battery, and ensure that the vehicle has been regularly maintained in accordance with Ford's time-based servicing schedule for items such as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant. Confirming a complete main dealer or specialist service history will provide the strongest assurance of long-term mechanical integrity.
