2020 Ford Puma ST-Line X First ED + Mhev 1.0L Petrol · MX20 VDM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-25 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across the last two tests. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently over the past year, though the February 2025 test—just 54 days before the March 2025 pass—stands out as an unusual gap. This could imply a brief period of non-use or administrative oversight rather than mechanical neglect. The overall trend remains stable, with no evidence of worsening issues in critical systems like suspension, brakes, or emissions. The recorded mileage of 41,731 miles over six years equates to approximately 6,955 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity to suggest excessive wear or neglect. The most notable interval is between the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the vehicle accumulated roughly 10,000 miles in a year—still within reasonable limits. The lack of failures during this period further supports that major components have likely been serviced or replaced as scheduled. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding or uneven wear is common in this model. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, as repeated stress could lead to premature disc wear. Exhaust emissions were never flagged, but a visual check for leaks or corrosion at the catalytic converter and muffler is advisable, especially given the vehicle’s hybrid nature. Structural integrity remains untested, so a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts is essential, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments.
