Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2000 model year cars.
- Structural Corrosion (Rear Arches, Sills, Floorpan)Serious
The Puma most infamous fault. Rear wheel arches rot from the inside out, and sills, jacking points and the boot floor are also susceptible. Fresh underseal may be hiding serious corrosion.
- CV Joint and Driveshaft WearModerate
The Puma front CV joints and boots deteriorate with age, leading to clicking on full lock and eventually joint failure. MOT testers often flag deteriorated or split CV boots.
- Engine Management and Oxygen Sensor FaultsModerate
The 1.7 VVT engine is sensitive to a failed heated oxygen sensor causing rough running, hesitation and poor idle. Coil pack failures and HT lead shorting from coolant leaking onto them via failed core plugs are also common.
