2022 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Petrol · PF22 UPS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in July 2025, establishing a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of recorded failures or advisories suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the required safety and environmental standards, with no immediate structural or mechanical red flags identified through the official DVSA inspection process. With a recorded mileage of 23,139 miles after approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,785 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, suggesting light usage or a vehicle that is frequently stationary. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension components, it also introduces specific risks associated with infrequent use. Low-mileage vehicles can experience issues such as fluid degradation, component seizure, and battery depletion that are not typically seen in high-mileage vehicles. Because the MOT history is clean, the physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than wear-induced failure. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, as rubber can degrade due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. The brake discs should be inspected for heavy corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been standing for long periods, and the buyer should listen for any signs of binding calipers or brake shudder during the test drive. Furthermore, it is vital to verify that the service history includes regular oil and fluid changes based on time intervals, as moisture can accumulate in the engine oil and brake fluid if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Given the low usage, testing the 12V battery health is also prudent, as infrequent charging cycles can lead to premature battery failure. Finally, a check for any signs of weeping from seals or gaskets is recommended, as these can sometimes dry out and leak when a vehicle is not subjected to regular thermal cycles.
