2002 Ford Puma 1.7L Petrol · GU02 XDD

The 2002 Ford Puma presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-27 at 35,982 miles recording a pass and no defects. Historical data shows consistent compliance since 2018, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged. The 2020-10-08 failure at 34,509 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a technical anomaly rather than a structural concern. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates reliable maintenance, though the low mileage of 35,982 over 24 years raises questions about usage patterns. Mileage growth remains exceptionally slow, averaging 1,499 miles annually, with no significant spikes or gaps in testing. The 2022-04-04 test at 34,935 miles followed the 2020-10-12 pass at 34,515 miles, indicating minimal operational wear. The 2018-11-02 test at 34,446 miles predates the 2020-10-08 failure, but no defects were noted in either. This sparse record suggests either meticulous upkeep or prolonged inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and suspension. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage may mask age-related degradation. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs is positive, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the record, so checking for rust on the chassis and body panels is crucial. The vehicle’s maintenance history implies careful stewardship, but its low mileage warrants scrutiny of long-term storage effects.
