2024 Ford Puma ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · SB03 ADE

There is currently no official DVSA MOT history available for this vehicle. This is expected given that the vehicle is a 2024 model and would not be due for its first statutory inspection until its third anniversary. Consequently, there is no recorded trend of failures or advisories to evaluate, meaning the current mechanical state is dependent on the owner's adherence to the manufacturer's service schedule and the remaining factory warranty. The recorded mileage is unknown, which prevents a definitive assessment of the annual usage rate or the identification of any rapid mileage accumulation. For a vehicle of this age, it is essential for the buyer to cross-reference the odometer reading with the service history to ensure the Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle system and internal combustion engine have been maintained at the correct intervals. A lack of data here means the buyer must be particularly vigilant in verifying that the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive urban stop-start cycles or prolonged periods of inactivity. In the absence of MOT failure data, the physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation and usage patterns. The buyer should carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, which can occur even on low-mileage vehicles if they have been stored incorrectly. Brake discs should be inspected for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, and the 12V battery health should be verified, as MHEV systems can be sensitive to voltage drops during periods of standing. Further attention must be given to the service record to confirm that all calendar-based fluid changes have been completed, regardless of the mileage covered. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any abnormal knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, and ensure the mild-hybrid assistance and stop-start functionality operate seamlessly. A thorough check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay and confirmation of a complete, stamped service book are critical to ensuring the vehicle's continued roadworthiness and the validity of its manufacturer warranty.
