2021 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev 1.0L Petrol · LA70 FPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding braking components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 45,624 miles passed despite the tester flagging thin rear brake pads and corroded rear discs. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen in late 2024, suggesting that the braking system is now entering a phase where consumable wear requires immediate attention to prevent further performance degradation. The mileage profile remains consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,125 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity between January 2024 and September 2024, where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in eight months. This surge in usage followed a January 2024 failure at 32,971 miles due to an exhaust lambda reading outside specified limits. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests without defect, the initial emissions failure suggests the sensor system was addressed or rectified shortly after that specific failure. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to determine the extent of the corrosion noted in the 2025 record. Given the thin pads and corroded discs, it is vital to check if the rotors have been replaced or if they are merely surface rusted. Additionally, the lambda sensor should be monitored for erratic readings to ensure the issue identified in early 2024 does not recur, as recurring emissions faults often point to underlying engine management or leaks in the exhaust system.
