2023 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · MT73 FUB

A spotless MOT record to date positions this 2023 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV as having no documented road‑worthiness issues, with the 2 September 2026 test confirming that every inspected system satisfied the statutory requirements at that point. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories suggests a stable mechanical baseline, at least up to the most recent examination. With 17 390 miles logged over roughly three years, the average annual accumulation sits near 5 800 miles—well below the typical UK usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage generally translates to reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension bushings, but it can also imply periods of limited use that may allow moisture to settle in sealed components. Mechanically, the drivetrain and hybrid electric system are likely to have experienced relatively light loading, though a thorough visual inspection for any signs of fluid seepage or corrosion remains prudent. When conducting a test drive, pay particular attention to the front and rear suspension assemblies: listen for any clunk or knock when traversing uneven surfaces, and feel for excessive play in the steering column or wheel wobble at higher speeds, which could indicate worn bushings or loosened mounting points. Evaluate the braking system by applying steady pressure and then a firm, rapid squeeze; the pedal should feel firm without pulsation, and the vehicle should decelerate in a straight line without pulling to either side, confirming that the discs, pads and hydraulic lines are functioning as expected. Finally, verify the operation of the mild‑hybrid electric components by observing the dashboard for any warning symbols during acceleration and coasting, and by noting any unusual whine or vibration from the integrated starter‑generator. Ensure that the battery management system reports normal voltage levels and that auxiliary systems such as the climate control and infotainment respond without lag, as these are the only electronically monitored areas that could reveal latent issues not captured by a standard MOT.
