2023 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Petrol · YC23 XRW

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 showing no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a period of stable mechanical compliance since its initial registration, as there are no documented failures or recurring issues concerning emissions, lighting, or structural integrity within the available testing history. The vehicle exhibits a low-mileage usage profile, having covered 15,838 miles over approximately three years. This equates to an annual average of roughly 5,279 miles, which is significantly below the typical UK average for a petrol-hybrid vehicle of this age. While lower mileage generally implies less wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, such infrequent usage can sometimes lead to less frequent mechanical cycling of various systems. Given the lack of recorded defects, a physical inspection should focus on the components typically affected by low-frequency use. During a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the braking application to ensure no binding or unevenness has developed in the calipers due to infrequent heavy use. Monitor the steering response and listen for any sudden knocks or vibrations from the suspension bushes or coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces, as these are the primary mechanical areas to scrutinise when a vehicle has not been subjected to high-mileage motorway driving. Finally, verify the operational integrity of the mild-hybrid system and the seamlessness of the transition between engine and electric assistance. Although the MOT record is clear, the low annual mileage means the vehicle has likely been used for shorter, urban trips; therefore, checking for any unusual engine idling or hesitation during low-speed manoeuvres is a prudent step to ensure the drivetrain is responding correctly to the specific usage patterns recorded.
