2021 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Petrol · JG04 JGG

This Puma presents an essentially clean mechanical record, with three consecutive MOT passes and not a single failure or defect recorded across its testing history. The only blemishes are tyre-related advisories from the February 2025 test, where both front tyres were noted with cuts not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, and both rear tyres were flagged with embedded nails. The most recent examination on 9 March 2026 passed with no advisories whatsoever, suggesting those earlier tyre concerns were resolved, most likely through replacement. The overall trend is stable and reassuring, with no recurring corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions issues emerging as the car ages. At five years old with just 17,410 miles recorded, this Puma has averaged roughly 3,480 miles per year, which is well below the UK norm. The annual test dates of early March 2024, late February 2025, and March 2026 show consistent, uninterrupted use with no gaps in the testing record and no evidence of extended lay-ups. Mechanically, this light usage profile means consumables such as brake discs, pads, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components will have experienced far less wear than a typical example of this age. The mild hybrid system and 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine will also have accumulated relatively few operating hours, though low-mileage petrol engines still benefit from verification that servicing has been carried out on time rather than purely on mileage. The tyre advisories from 2025 warrant specific attention during inspection. Check all four corners for matching, reputable-brand tyres with even tread wear across the full width, and confirm that the previously cut front tyres and nail-pierced rears were replaced rather than repaired in situ, since a plug repair near the shoulder or sidewall is not considered acceptable practice. Uneven shoulder wear on the front tyres could indicate tracking or geometry issues, so on the test drive feel for any steering pull to one side on a flat road, vibration through the wheel at motorway speeds, or a tendency for the car to wander, any of which would warrant a four-wheel alignment check. Beyond the tyres, the absence of any advisory history means there are no known corrosion points, suspension knocks, or brake defects to chase, but a prudent buyer should still carry out the standard checks appropriate to the model. Listen for knocks or rattles from the front suspension over speed bumps and broken surfaces, confirm the brake pedal feels firm with no judder under moderate braking, and verify the mild hybrid system operates smoothly, with seamless stop-start restarts and no warning lights on the dashboard. Given the clean record and low mileage, the priority is confirming the service history is complete and that the car drives as tidily as its MOT file suggests.
