2022 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Petrol · ML72 LJO

A 2022 Ford Puma with a single MOT pass on record and no advisories or failures logged presents a clean documented roadworthiness history for its age. The test conducted on 26 September 2025 recorded no defects, which means no component was identified as being at or beyond the minimum legal standard, and no advisory items were noted that would suggest developing wear requiring early attention. With only one MOT entry on file (the first one is not required until the vehicle reaches three years of age, which fell in 2025), the picture is necessarily limited in scope, but what is available is entirely positive. There are no flagged brake, suspension, tyre, or emissions concerns, and no structural or corrosion advisories have yet appeared. The vehicle thus sits comfortably within the expected mechanical envelope for a relatively new Ford Puma. At 24,463 recorded miles over approximately four years of age, this Puma has covered around 6,116 miles annually, which is a broadly typical accumulation rate for a small petrol-powered family crossover used for mixed commuting and occasional longer journeys. There are no unusual gaps in the testing history and no mileage inconsistencies that would suggest clock irregularities or extended periods off the road with subsequent catch-up mileage. This steady, moderate usage pattern generally bodes well for mechanical longevity, as the engine, manual gearbox or automatic transmission, clutch (where applicable), and brake components will have seen consistent working temperatures rather than suffering the prolonged cold starts associated with very low annual mileage. Consumable wear items such as tyres, brake pads, and discs should still have meaningful remaining service life, and the 48-volt mild hybrid electrical components, including the belt-driven starter-generator and 12-volt battery, will have been exercised regularly. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any flagged items means a standard pre-purchase inspection should suffice, but it is worth paying particular attention to the areas most commonly associated with this generation of Puma. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the anti-roll bar bushes and lower control arm linkages, as these are known wear points on the B&O-platform Puma. Evaluate the brake feel for any pulling to one side, vibration through the steering wheel under braking, or a soft or spongy pedal that could indicate corroded brake lines or binding calipers, even though nothing was flagged at the last MOT. Inspect the underside and wheel arches for any early signs of surface corrosion or stone-chip damage to the underbody, and check the rear silencer and exhaust mounting rubbers for security, as these can deteriorate on Puma models used over winter salt conditions. Inside the cabin, confirm that all MHEV system functions operate as intended, the instrument cluster displays no warning lights, and the auto start-stop system engages smoothly when the battery is sufficiently charged, as issues with the mild hybrid belt-driven unit can sometimes manifest as irregular idle behaviour or dashboard alerts. Examine all four tyres for even wear across the tread, as uneven wear could point to misalignment of the rear suspension geometry, which is not always recorded at MOT if it has not yet reached the legal minimum. Finally, verify the service history is complete and up to date, particularly confirmation that the mild hybrid cooling system and brake fluid have been changed at the manufacturer-recommended intervals, and request a current health report from any connected FordPass telemetry if available, to corroborate the clean MOT record with the vehicle's broader diagnostic history.
