2020 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · MP51 RAY

Across four recorded MOT tests spanning 2023 to 2026, this Puma presents an entirely clean DVSA record, with each annual examination resulting in a pass and no advisories or defects of any kind recorded against the vehicle. The most recent test on 15 June 2026 was passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean outcomes since the first MOT would have fallen due three years after its 2020 registration. There is no evidence in the official data of recurring component wear, structural corrosion, exhaust concerns, brake issues, or suspension degradation — the type of findings that typically begin to accumulate once a vehicle passes the four-year mark. The absence of any advisory entries is notable for a six-year-old car, as even lightly used examples often record minor observations on items such as tyre wear, brake disc lipping, or underbody surface corrosion. With 39,565 miles recorded against an age of approximately six years, the vehicle has accumulated at an annual rate of roughly 6,594 miles, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a car of this type and vintage. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest prolonged periods off the road, and the mileage progression between tests is consistent with regular everyday use rather than the stop-start pattern associated with long lay-ups or isolated long-distance trips. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage means the major drivetrain and suspension components should be well run-in but not excessively worn, and consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and discs are unlikely to have been subjected to the accelerated degradation that high-mileage cars experience. The hybrid mild-hybrid system in particular benefits from regular use, as prolonged inactivity can affect 12V battery health and belt-driven components. Although the MOT history is unblemished, a prospective buyer should still perform a targeted physical inspection and test drive, as the test only confirms roadworthiness at a single point in time and does not cover general mechanical condition, interior wear, or service history. On a test drive, listen for any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn wishbone bushes, drop links, or top mounts — common wear items on Fords of this era that might not yet have been flagged at test. Check for any pulling under braking, vibration through the steering wheel, or a soft brake pedal feel, all of which can point to warped discs or worn pads that develop between tests. At the rear, listen for any clonking over bumps that might suggest worn rear beam bushes, a known area on Puma and Fiesta-based platforms. Visually inspect the underside and around the wheel arches for any surface corrosion, paying particular attention to suspension arms, subframe mountings, and brake pipe runs, as the records do not capture cosmetic corrosion that falls below the test failure threshold. Verify that all tyres are of matching brand, size, and tread depth, and confirm even wear across the axles, which can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues. Check that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after start-up, particularly any hybrid system indicators, and confirm the operation of the stop-start system, as any faults here may not yet have triggered a test failure but could develop. Finally, ensure that a full service history is available, as the absence of recorded advisories should be complemented by documented routine maintenance to give a complete picture of the vehicle's mechanical state.
