2024 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev Hybrid electric (clean) · JC60 COT

The vehicle in question is a 2024 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV, and as of the assessment date in September 2026, it carries no recorded DVSA MOT history. Under current UK roadworthiness legislation, this is entirely expected and lawful, as the vehicle would only become eligible for its first MOT test upon reaching three years of registration, which falls in 2027. The absence of any pass, fail, or advisory entries therefore reflects regulatory timing rather than any oversight or omission on the part of the previous keeper. With no test outcomes to evaluate, there is no discernible maintenance trend from the MOT record, whether stable, worsening, or improving. Consequently, any prospective buyer must look beyond the official test database and rely upon direct physical inspection, service documentation, and dealer or independent verification to form a view of the vehicle's mechanical condition. Because the recorded mileage is stated as unknown, it is not possible to calculate an annual usage rate or compare accumulated distance against the vehicle's age. The Ford Puma is a relatively popular model in the UK, typically used as a daily driver or family vehicle, and average annual mileage for such cars tends to fall between 7,000 and 12,000 miles. Without an accurate odometer reading or service book evidence, any judgment regarding excessive wear, underutilisation, or rapid accumulation remains speculative. Where mileage cannot be verified, the buyer should request the last service invoice, any HPI or provenance check confirming consistency of recorded readings, and confirmation that the odometer itself has not been tampered with, as modern digital instrument clusters can occasionally be misdiagnosed as faulty when reading erratically. Given that the vehicle is now approximately two years old and will shortly be approaching its first MOT, several age-related inspections are strongly recommended even though no statutory test has yet been undertaken. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking, perishing, or ozone degradation, particularly if the car has spent extended periods standing or parked outdoors, as rubber compounds deteriorate with calendar age regardless of tread depth. Brake discs, especially on the rear axle, may exhibit surface corrosion or, in the case of the mild-hybrid system with its regenerative braking function, could demonstrate signs of binding calipers due to infrequent manual brake application. The 48-volt mild-hybrid lithium-ion battery pack and the conventional 12-volt battery should both be health-checked, as age-related capacity loss in either unit can produce warning messages, starting difficulties, or irregular stop-start behaviour. All fluid specifications, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid (which degrades hygroscopically regardless of mileage), and the MHEV system coolant, should be confirmed against the manufacturer's service schedule. On a test drive, the prospective buyer should pay particular attention to any unusual noises from the suspension, as coil springs, anti-roll bar links, and suspension bushes are common wear items on Fords of this age. Any clunks, knocking, or uneven tyre wear patterns would suggest component fatigue. The seven-speed automatic gearbox, if fitted, should be observed for smooth and timely shifts, while the mild-hybrid system's transition between electric assistance and petrol propulsion should feel seamless. Warning lights, particularly those relating to the hybrid system, emissions, or electronic stability control, should be investigated via diagnostic interrogation prior to purchase. Ultimately, in the absence of an MOT history, the strength of this assessment rests upon the quality of the service history, the provenance documentation, and the findings of a thorough pre-purchase inspection conducted by a qualified automotive engineer.
