2020 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Auto 1.0L Petrol · LC70 SSJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 14,857 miles. While the latest result is clean, the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern regarding tyre management. The vehicle failed just one day prior to that pass due to exposed cords on both front-side tyres and perishing on the offside rear tyre. This indicates that the previous owner neglected critical safety-related consumables until a formal test failure forced immediate replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,476 miles per year. Data between the November 2023 test at 7,546 miles and the November 2024 test at 11,978 miles shows an annual increase of 4,432 miles. This low usage suggests the car sits stationary for long periods, which explains the recurring issues with tyre perishing and cracking noted in the 2024 and 2025 records rather than simple simple tread wear. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as the history proves a failure to monitor rubber degradation. Given the low mileage and age, the inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently. The rubber suspension bushes should be examined for dry cracking, as the same environmental factors that damaged the tyres likely affected these chassis components over a six-year span.
