2020 Ford Puma ST-Line X Auto 1.0L Petrol · LD70 UCB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its 2023 and 2024 tests without defects, the August 2025 test at 30,004 miles revealed multiple critical failures that required immediate attention to rectify. The trend shows a transition from a clean record to a period where safety-critical components were neglected, suggesting the previous owner likely deferred routine servicing until the mandatory test forced action. At 30,004 miles over six years, this Ford Puma has averaged approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low-use profile typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, yet the gap of 7,454 miles between August 2024 and August 2025 shows a recent spike in usage compared to previous years. The failure of both the nearside and offside front tyres reaching the legal 1.6mm limit indicates that the vehicle may have been driven on short distances in that final year without any monitoring of tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and wheels. The 2025 record flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored discs on both sides, which are common in vehicles that sit for periods and develop surface corrosion. The distorted inner bead on the nearside front road wheel is a structural defect that likely resulted from an impact and should be checked for hairline cracks to prevent pressure loss. Additionally, the missing nearside rear wheel arch trim must be replaced to ensure no sharp edges remain and that the exposed metalwork is not suffering from premature corrosion from road debris.
