2020 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · R19 RAT

This Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV lacks any documented MOT history, rendering a formal roadworthiness assessment impossible. Without test dates, advisories, or pass/fail outcomes, there is no basis to evaluate maintenance trends, structural integrity, or recurring mechanical issues. The absence of records also precludes comparison with industry norms for a vehicle of this age and model variant, particularly concerning hybrid-specific components like the high-voltage battery or regenerative braking systems. Buyers must treat this as a vehicle with no verifiable compliance history, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm all critical systems meet current safety and emissions standards. Mileage data is entirely absent, leaving no way to assess whether the car has been driven sparingly or excessively for its age. A 2020 model should have undergone at least two MOT tests by now—one at 36 months (or 60,000 miles, whichever came first) and another at 60 months (or 100,000 miles). The lack of any entries suggests either a first-time MOT failure, deliberate concealment of history, or a vehicle that has never been legally tested. Without mileage figures, even basic wear-and-tear expectations—such as brake pad life or suspension bush degradation—cannot be reasonably projected. This gap alone raises concerns about transparency and could indicate neglect in essential documentation. Given the complete absence of MOT data, a prospective buyer must prioritise an independent inspection of high-risk areas. Focus on the hybrid battery’s physical condition and any warning lights for electrical faults, as these are rarely captured in standard MOT tests. Check for evidence of corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and suspension mounts, which are common failure points in urban-driven cars. The brakes should be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers, while suspension components—particularly coil springs and bushes—must be examined for leaks or excessive play. The exhaust system should be tested for leaks or excessive rust, as these often go unnoticed until they fail an MOT. Without prior test records, no assumptions about past repairs or advisories can be made, so a detailed mechanical review is essential.
