2022 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Petrol · WR22 PRZ

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with two passed tests and no recorded failures. While the 2025 inspection was entirely clear, the most recent test on 8 July 2026 identified a specific mechanical concern regarding slight wear or play in the lower shaft of the steering column universal joint. This represents the only recorded defect since the vehicle entered the testing cycle. The recorded mileage of 21,141 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,285 miles per year. This usage pattern indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-wear cycles typical of long-distance motorway commuting, which generally results in less degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components. Low annual mileage typically reflects lighter operational demand on the mechanical assemblies. Buyer scrutiny should be focused specifically on the steering assembly. The advisory concerning the steering column universal joint indicates a developing point of wear in the lower shaft that requires monitoring. During a test drive, the driver should feel for any notchiness, hesitation, or a lack of smoothness when turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, particularly during low-speed maneuvering. Any clicking or popping sounds emanating from the steering column area should be investigated as these are primary symptoms of universal joint play.
