2026 Ford Puma Select EV Electric · MX26 NFN

Without any recorded MOT examinations, there is no documented evidence that the 2026 Ford Puma Select EV has been verified against the statutory roadworthiness criteria. The absence of a MOT history means that neither pass nor failure data exist to illustrate how the vehicle’s safety‑critical systems—such as brakes, lighting, suspension or emissions‑related components—have performed under official inspection. Consequently, the mechanical story of this Puma is defined by a complete lack of third‑party verification rather than by any pattern of recurring advisories or demonstrated compliance. Mileage for the vehicle is also listed as unknown, preventing any assessment of annual kilometre accumulation or wear progression that would normally be inferred from age‑matched usage. For a 2026 model one would expect roughly 8‑10 000 mi per year under typical private use; without a recorded odometer figure the buyer cannot gauge the likely condition of wear items such as tyre tread, brake pads or suspension bushings. The combination of missing mileage and missing MOT data creates a gap that must be filled by an independent physical inspection and a verified mileage reading before any mechanical conclusions can be drawn. A prospective buyer should arrange a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection that covers the electric drivetrain and all conventional safety systems. Specific attention ought to be given to the high‑voltage battery pack—checking for error codes on the vehicle’s diagnostics, confirming that the state‑of‑charge gauge behaves consistently, and looking for any signs of coolant leakage around the battery thermal‑management system. The electric motor and inverter should be listened to for abnormal whine or vibration, and the regenerative braking function should be tested for smooth modulation and appropriate deceleration without excessive pedal judder. Conventional components such as the front and rear suspension arms, coil springs, and bushings must be examined for play or corrosion, while the hydraulic braking system should be inspected for any fluid leaks, pad wear and disc condition. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pull to one side, uneven steering feedback, or clunking noises over bumps that could indicate worn suspension joints. The brake pedal should return promptly without sponginess, and the vehicle should accelerate smoothly without hesitation or loss of power, especially when drawing maximum torque from the electric motor. Any illuminated warning lights—particularly those relating to the battery management system, traction control or ABS—should be recorded and investigated. Securing a fresh MOT after the inspection will provide the statutory confirmation of roadworthiness that is currently missing from the vehicle’s record.
