2021 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev Auto 1.0L Petrol · VO71 WZW

The 2021 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV Auto presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded in either of its two MOT tests. The most recent test, carried out on 29 August 2025 at 6,569 miles, passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating that the vehicle was in sound mechanical and structural order at that point. The absence of any recurring faults or emerging wear items across the limited record suggests consistent, if light, use rather than a pattern of neglect or escalating deterioration. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the first recorded test on 9 September 2024 at 4,884 miles and the follow-up on 29 August 2025 at 6,569 miles, the car covered just 1,685 miles over roughly eleven months. That equates to an annualised rate of approximately 1,314 miles per year across its life, well below the UK average of around 7,400 miles annually. Such low accumulation raises the possibility of prolonged periods of standing, which can affect components like brake discs, tyre sidewalls, and battery health in the mild-hybrid system. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer progression that would suggest mileage tampering or inconsistent record-keeping. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas that low-mileage use can quietly compromise. The braking system warrants close attention; discs and pads that sit unused for extended periods can develop surface corrosion and uneven wear patterns that may not yet trigger an MOT failure but can cause juddering or reduced stopping efficiency. Tyres should be examined for sidewall cracking and date codes, as the original rubber may be approaching five years of age regardless of remaining tread depth. The mild-hybrid 48-volt battery and associated electrical system should be checked for fault codes and charging behaviour, as infrequent use can degrade auxiliary battery performance. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mountings should be inspected for perishing or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked outdoors or in damp conditions. The MOT record confirms the car was defect-free at its last test, but the sparse testing history means a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
