2020 Ford Puma ST-Line X First ED Mhev 1.0L Petrol · SA70 AYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a transition toward minor wear-related defects. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 14,615 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside rear tyre with a nail and a pitted or scored rear brake disc. These issues represent a shift from the clean records seen in 2024, suggesting that despite the low mileage, the vehicle is now showing signs of age and environmentally induced component degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,436 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between August 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered only 4,882 miles in over fourteen months. This low-frequency use often explains the condition of the brake components, as the lack of heat and friction from regular can prevent surface rust from being cleared by the brake pads, which aligns with the observed disc pitting recorded in the 2025 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system in person, as the pitting and scoring noted in the 2025 record suggest the discs have suffered from surface corrosion due to long stationary periods. The failure in August 2023 for exposed cords on the nearside front tyre indicates that the rubber may be aging poorly or has been subjected to impact damage despite having low tread depth. Given the low mileage, a thorough check of the rubber components in the suspension and perished bushes is essential, as these parts can crack and fail over time rather than through mechanical wear.
