2022 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · HX72 MYG

This Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT test, conducted on 5 August 2025 at precisely 19,208 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in that test suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks for brakes, steering, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity without incident. However, the single data point limits broader trend analysis, and the test’s proximity to the current date—just under a year old—means no recent wear patterns can be confirmed. Buyers should note that while the MOT history is clean, the lack of recurring issues does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake calipers, which may not always trigger MOT failings until advanced. The recorded mileage of 19,208 miles over approximately four years—roughly 4,800 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age and model. Such low mileage could imply prolonged periods of storage, reduced exposure to environmental stressors, or limited driving conditions. While this generally suggests lower wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and engine internals, it also raises questions about potential neglect in other areas, such as fluid changes or minor maintenance tasks that might be deferred when a car is rarely driven. The absence of multiple MOT tests makes it impossible to assess whether earlier owners adhered to a consistent service schedule or if the vehicle was moved infrequently. Given the sparse MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise components that often fail silently or degrade gradually, even in low-mileage vehicles. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of perished rubber or metal fatigue, as these can develop without triggering MOT failings. The brakes, despite passing, should be examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Additionally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as prolonged storage can accelerate rust formation in critical structural areas. The MHEV hybrid system’s battery and cooling system should also be inspected for any fluid leaks or degraded connections, as hybrid-specific failures are less likely to appear on a standard MOT.
