2021 Ford Puma ST 1.5L Petrol · YP70 XNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 31,053 miles passed despite a distorted offside front outer road wheel. While this is a minorrelated defect rather than a mechanical failure, it indicates the vehicle has likely encountered significant impact or curb damage recently that has not been addressed prior to the MOT inspection. At 31,053 miles over five years, the Puma has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a modern hatchback. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the recorded intervals, with 6,500 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,846 miles leading into March 2026. This steady usage suggests the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to extreme stress, but it does mean that components are reaching standard age-related wear. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and the wheel assembly flagged in early 2026. The March 2025 test at 24,207 miles highlighted thin rear brake pads and pitted or scored discs, suggesting the previous owner ignored brake service intervals until they required attention. Given the distorted offside wheel noted in the latest test, the wheel should be checked for structural cracks or replaced to prevent lateral vibrations or uneven tire wear. Additionally, verify the suspension geometry and bushings to ensure the impact that caused the wheel distortion hasn't caused misalignment or damaged the steering components.
