Our Verdict
A highly attractive high-spec crossover that offers modern efficiency and a very clean mechanical record. This vehicle is a safe bet for those seeking a premium-feeling mild hybrid with lower-than-average mileage.
When purchasing this 2023 model, ensure the full service history is up to date, as the MHEV (mild hybrid) system relies on consistent software and mechanical maintenance to remain optimal. Since it is an automatic, take a thorough drive to ensure the gearbox shifts are smooth and there are no unexpected jerks during regenerative braking transitions.
Check the interior for any wear on the Vignale-specific leather upholstery, though the low mileage suggests this should be pristine. Given its age, you should also verify how much of the original manufacturer warranty remains, as this provides significant peace of mind for the complex 1.0L EcoBoost engine.
The 1.0L MHEV engine is designed for efficiency, likely delivering real-world fuel economy between 45-55 MPG depending on driving style. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it avoids ULEZ charges and typically falls into a relatively low road tax band and insurance group.
Maintenance costs are standard for a modern Ford, but owners should budget for specialist servicing to maintain the hybrid components. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic servicing, to fall roughly between £1,200 and £1,500.
The only recorded issue was a failure in February 2026 for headlamp aim being too low. This is a simple adjustment often caused by a minor impact or road vibration, but you should verify that both headlight housings are free of moisture and that the beams are correctly aligned now.
Inspect the tyres for even wear; at 26,000 miles, they may be nearing the end of their original life. Also, check the battery health, as mild hybrid systems require a strong battery to manage the start-stop system correctly.
This 2023 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale MHEV represents a sophisticated blend of sporty styling and high-end Vignale trim. With just over 26,000 miles recorded in three years, it sits well below the average mileage for its age. The MOT history shows only a single minor failure related to headlamp alignment, which was rectified immediately, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained and kept in good condition.
The 1.0L EcoBoost MHEV engines are generally considered reliable provided they are serviced according to schedule to prevent timing belt issues.
