2020 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · MW70 KAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in November 2025 at 56,704 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding the rear braking system. The car failed its initial test on that same 2025 date due to both rear brake pads and inner discs being significantly worn beyond legal limits. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the history indicates a reactive maintenance approach where components are replaced only upon failure rather than through preventative servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,450 miles per year. The progression from 37,587 miles in November 2023 to 49,238 miles in November 2024 shows a steady usage of over 11,000 miles annually, while the subsequent interval of 7,466 miles leading to the 2025 test suggests slightly lower usage but does not justify the accelerated wear seen on components like the brakes. A buyer must inspect the rear braking assembly in person to ensure the repairs performed in November 2025 were completed to standard. The 2023 advisory for pitted and scored discs, followed by the 2025 failure, suggests the rear brakes may be prone to corrosion or have sticking calipers. It is also necessary to check for uneven pad wear or signs of heat damage, as the recurring nature of these faults indicates the rear braking system may be under undue stress or has been neglected by previous owners.
