2022 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev Auto 1.0L Petrol · PJ22 YBD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of poor tyre condition. While the most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 20,183 miles passed, it followed a failure just six days prior. That failure resulted from a cut in the offside front tyre reaching the cords and perishing on the nearside front tyre. The immediate rectification of these faults allowed a pass, but the persistence of these issues suggests the owner only addressed tyre maintenance when an MOT failure was imminent. At 20,183 miles over four years, the vehicle has covered a low average of approximately 5,046 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average for a modern vehicle. The gap between the May 2025 test at 18,062 miles and the March 2026 test shows only 2,121 miles driven. This low usage suggests the car may sit stationary for long periods, which correlates with the rubber cracking and perishing noted on multiple tyres in the May 2025 advisory notes. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to check for further dry rot or sidewall damage, as the record shows a history of neglect regarding these consumable components. The 2025 advisory regarding a parking permit obstructing the driver's view also indicates a previous lack of attention to basic vehicle setup. Given the low mileage and potential for standing, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs on vehicles that are not used frequently.
