2023 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev Auto 1.0L Petrol · SA72 ENL

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on paper. The sole MOT entry, dated 10 February 2026 at 9,990 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the limited dataset means there is no historical pattern of recurring faults to analyse. The absence of any flagged items at the most recent inspection suggests the braking system, suspension components, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity all met the minimum safety thresholds at that time. Mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2023-registered vehicle. At roughly 3,330 miles per year, the odometer reading of 9,990 miles suggests either very light urban use or extended periods of inactivity. The MOT record provides no prior entries to track gradual accumulation, so the service history between the vehicle's first registration and February 2026 remains unverified from this dataset alone. A single pass with no defects offers no insight into how the car was maintained during its initial years. Prospective buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection despite the clean MOT. Low-mileage vehicles left standing for long periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, or corroded brake discs. Suspension bushes and coil springs may deteriorate from age rather than use. Checking the tyre date codes against the vehicle's registration date will confirm whether the rubber is original and potentially perished. A test drive should focus on any binding brakes, uneven braking pull, or suspension knocks that a static MOT inspection might not replicate under light load. The lack of advisories is encouraging but not a substitute for independent verification. Requesting proof of any servicing between registration and the February 2026 MOT will help establish whether routine oil changes and fluid top-ups were carried out. Without that paper trail, the clean MOT record alone confirms only that the vehicle met roadworthiness standards on a single day.
