2024 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev Hybrid electric (clean) · SC73 WDP

As this is a 2024 registration, there is currently no official MOT history available via the DVSA database, which is typical for a vehicle of this age that has not yet reached its first mandatory three-year testing milestone. Consequently, it is impossible to establish a longitudinal maintenance trend or identify a pattern of mechanical degradation through official test outcomes. The absence of a recorded history means the vehicle's roadworthiness must be assessed entirely through a rigorous physical inspection and a thorough review of the private service history and manufacturer warranty documentation to ensure the car has been maintained to the required standard. Regarding the recorded mileage, the lack of comparative data prevents an accurate assessment of the annual usage rate or the mechanical implications of its driving profile. Without a mileage history to benchmark against the vehicle's age, you must exercise caution to ensure the odometer reading is authentic and consistent with any service intervals recorded in the logbook. A vehicle with unexpectedly low mileage may have suffered from excessive periods of standing, which can lead to specific issues, whereas high mileage for a two-year-old car would suggest heavy usage that could accelerate the wear on suspension components, tyres, and braking systems. Given the lack of an MOT record, your inspection should focus on time-based degradation and physical condition. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur if the vehicle has been frequently stationary, and check for uneven tread wear that might indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, especially if the car has been parked for long periods, and during your test drive, listen for any binding or squealing from the calipers. It is also vital to verify the health of the 12V battery, as mild hybrid electric vehicles rely heavily on stable electrical systems to manage the integrated starter-generator and energy recovery functions. Furthermore, ensure that all time-sensitive fluids, such as brake fluid and engine coolant, are within their recommended service intervals, as these can degrade regardless of mileage. Check the service book for consistent manufacturer stamps to ensure the vehicle's warranty remains intact, as any missed service could void coverage for the MHEV powertrain. During the test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the mild hybrid transitions and ensure there are no warning lights on the dashboard. Finally, inspect the vehicle's underside for any signs of fluid leaks or premature corrosion that may not yet have been captured by a formal inspection.
