2022 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Petrol · KM72 ABF

This Ford Puma Titanium MHEV demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 29 September 2025 with no defects recorded at 12,992 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues during its current ownership. However, the test’s proximity to the current date—just under nine months old—means a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm no deferred or latent faults have developed since then. The recorded mileage of 12,992 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of around 3,248 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally indicates reduced wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, it also raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions. Prolonged periods of inactivity can accelerate corrosion in underbody panels, wheel arches, and exhaust systems, particularly in the UK’s variable climate. The lack of prior MOT data prevents assessment of any historical maintenance gaps, but the current owner’s apparent minimal usage may have contributed to deferred maintenance risks. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise inspection of components prone to corrosion or neglect in low-mileage vehicles. Focus on the suspension’s bushings and coil springs for stiffness or cracking, especially around the subframe and rear trailing arms. The brake system warrants scrutiny—binding calipers or warped discs could have gone unnoticed without recent use, while the anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensors should be tested for functionality. Underbody corrosion should be checked meticulously at the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounting points, as these areas are critical for structural integrity. The MHEV hybrid battery and cooling system, though not MOT-tested, should also be assessed for any signs of degradation or fluid leaks, given the vehicle’s age and limited driving history.
