2024 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · MA21 AAF

As a 2024 Ford Puma ST-Line X MHEV, this vehicle is currently only around two years old and, given the lack of any recorded MOT test results on the DVSA database, it is likely either too new to have required its first statutory roadworthiness examination or it has not yet been presented for testing. Under current UK regulations, a vehicle does not require an MOT until it reaches three years of age, which means this car will not be due for its inaugural test until 2027. Consequently, there is no pass-fail trend, advisory history, or recurring defect pattern to evaluate from official records, and any assessment of mechanical condition must therefore rely on general age-appropriate inspection criteria rather than documented test outcomes. Recorded mileage is not available for this vehicle, and there is insufficient MOT data to establish a meaningful annual usage rate or to compare accumulated mileage against the vehicle's age. With the car being only two years old, average annual mileage for a Puma of this type would typically fall within the 6,000 to 10,000 mile bracket, but without confirmed figures it is not possible to determine whether this particular example has been used sparingly, driven extensively on motorway commutes, or potentially subject to very low or irregular usage. Any prospective buyer should therefore verify the current odometer reading against the service book and V5C documentation to establish a realistic mileage profile, as both unusually low and unusually high figures carry distinct mechanical implications. Given the absence of MOT history, the buyer should focus on a thorough physical inspection calibrated to a nearly-new but two-year-old vehicle. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking or perishing caused by age rather than wear, as rubber compounds degrade with time regardless of tread depth, and the spare or repair kit should be checked for condition. The 12-volt battery should be tested for state of charge and holding capacity, since auxiliary and hybrid system batteries can deteriorate from infrequent use or short journeys that prevent full recharging. The brake discs and calipers should be inspected for any signs of corrosion or binding resulting from standing, particularly given the wet UK climate, and the brake fluid should be assessed for moisture content, as most manufacturers recommend replacement every two years regardless of mileage due to its hygroscopic nature. The engine oil and filter should be confirmed as recently changed in line with Ford's MHEV service schedule, and the mild hybrid belt-driven starter generator system should be checked for any warning messages or fault codes via diagnostic scan. On a test drive, the buyer should pay particular attention to the operation of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost mild hybrid powertrain, listening for any irregular engine noises, hesitation, or unexpected intervention from the stop-start system. The clutch, if manual, should feel progressive and smooth, while the automatic DCT variant, where fitted, should exhibit clean and timely gear changes without shudder or hesitation. The suspension should be exercised over uneven surfaces to detect any clonks, knocks, or knocking from worn bushes or top mounts, and the steering should remain precise and free of vibration at speed. All electrical systems, including infotainment, climate control, parking sensors, and reversing camera, should be verified for full functionality, and a comprehensive obd diagnostic scan should be commissioned to confirm that no latent fault codes are stored within the hybrid battery management system or other control modules, ensuring the vehicle is mechanically sound and free of underlying electronic issues.
