2023 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SP23 KRE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 June 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. As this represents the initial testing phase for a 2023 model, the clean result indicates that the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards without immediate structural or mechanical failures. The maintenance trend appears stable, although a single pass provides a limited historical baseline for assessing long-term wear and tear. The recorded mileage of 45,525 miles over approximately three years indicates a high annual usage rate of roughly 15,175 miles. This is significantly above the UK average and suggests the vehicle has been utilized for extensive commuting or long-distance travel. Mechanically, this accelerated accumulation means that consumables such as brake pads, discs, and tyre treads will have reached their wear limits much sooner than on a typical example of this age. There is also increased cumulative stress on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. Given the clean MOT record but high mileage, the buyer must prioritize a thorough review of the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at appropriate intervals to protect the turbocharged engine and MHEV system. A physical inspection should focus on tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity, looking for uneven wear patterns that could signal alignment issues or worn suspension components. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension and feel for vibrations through the steering wheel, which may indicate that the bushings or shock absorbers are nearing the end of their service life. Further attention should be directed toward the braking system to check for lip formation on the brake discs and any shuddering under deceleration, which would suggest warping. The buyer should verify the health of the 12V battery and ensure the mild-hybrid start-stop system operates seamlessly without hesitation. Finally, inspect the interior for premature wear on the driver's seat bolsters and steering wheel, as high-mileage vehicles often show cabin degradation. Ensure all calendar-based fluid replacements, specifically brake fluid and coolant, have been carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule.
