2025 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · SC74 WHW

At the time of writing, this 2025 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV has no recorded MOT test history on the DVSA database, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached the three-year anniversary of its first registration that would normally trigger its inaugural roadworthiness examination. Consequently, there is no pass-fail trajectory, advisory pattern, or historical defect record from which to gauge a maintenance trend. While the absence of MOT data is entirely expected for a vehicle of this age, it does mean that any prospective buyer must rely solely on physical inspection, dealer or service history, and pre-purchase mechanical checks rather than governmental verification of its continued roadworthiness. The recorded mileage is unknown, and with insufficient odometer readings in the file, it is not possible to calculate an annual usage rate or to identify any periods of rapid accumulation or extended standing. For a 2025 model, an average commuter figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles per year would be considered typical, but without confirmation from the service book or the vehicle's onboard trip computer, the true usage profile remains unverified. Should the mileage prove to be very low, the mechanical implications shift from wear-related concerns to those associated with standing and calendar-based degradation, whereas an unusually high figure would warrant a more forensic inspection of wear items. Given the clean MOT slate and the youth of the vehicle, practical inspection advice should centre on confirming that manufacturer servicing has been carried out at the correct intervals, with particular attention to the mild-hybrid 48V system, its associated belt-driven integrated starter generator, and the 12V auxiliary battery which can be prematurely stressed if the vehicle has been predominantly used for short urban journeys. The engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid should all be confirmed as within their service intervals, bearing in mind that brake fluid is hygroscopic and degrades over time regardless of mileage. The high-voltage hybrid components, wiring looms, and under-bonnet earth points should be visually inspected for any signs of rodent damage or corrosion, which is a known concern on vehicles stored for extended periods. On a physical inspection, the buyer should check all four tyres for sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even on relatively new rubber if the car has been stored outside, and verify that the tread depth is consistent across each axle. The brake discs should be examined for any surface rust, particularly on the rear drums or calipers, which may suggest the vehicle has been left standing for prolonged periods and could lead to binding or uneven braking performance. A test drive should include firm application of the brakes from speed to detect any shudder or pulling, listening for suspension knocks over uneven surfaces, and confirming that the auto start-stop and mild-hybrid assistance functions operate as intended. Finally, all warning lamps on the instrument cluster should extinguish promptly after ignition, and a diagnostic scan for any stored fault codes relating to the hybrid battery management system would be a prudent precaution before purchase.
