2020 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · HV70 WWR

This Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV demonstrates a consistently clean MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded across the most recent three tests. The vehicle passed its latest inspection on 28 August 2025 at 21,755 miles, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or unresolved issues, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without major neglect. However, the absence of advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the hybrid-electric system’s unique wear patterns and the vehicle’s low mileage for its age. The recorded mileage of 21,755 miles over six years—approximately 3,626 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this type. The gaps between tests are consistent with the 12-month MOT cycle, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest storage-related issues. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like brakes and suspension, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven enough to identify early signs of hybrid-specific wear, such as degraded battery health or hybrid-specific fluid leaks. The lack of mileage variation also means consumables like brake pads and tyres may have been replaced less frequently than recommended. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the hybrid battery system, including fluid levels and electrical connections, as these are not routinely covered by MOT testing. The suspension should be checked for uneven wear on bushes or coil springs, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Brake discs and calipers, though not failed in MOTs, may require assessment for uneven wear or binding—common in low-mileage vehicles where brakes are not regularly cycled. Finally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust development. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from hidden issues.
