2025 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · YY75 AVZ

As of the latest available DVSA records, no MOT test has yet been conducted on this 2025 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV, and consequently there is no recorded pass, failure, advisory, or defect data against which a maintenance trend can be evaluated. While this absence of test history is consistent with the car's recent first registration date in 2025, it does mean that there is no official DVSA evidence to confirm ongoing roadworthiness. For a prospective buyer, the lack of an MOT certificate is not a red flag in itself, but it does shift the burden of verification entirely onto a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, since the vehicle will not require its first MOT test until three years after registration, which in this instance falls due in 2028. Regarding the recorded mileage, no odometer reading has been supplied with the DVSA records, and it is not possible to calculate an annual usage figure against the vehicle's age. Without comparable mileage data, it is difficult to determine whether this Puma has covered an average annual mileage for its class, been used predominantly for short urban journeys, or conversely has accumulated high mileage consistent with motorway driving. Each usage pattern carries distinct mechanical implications. Short-trip use tends to promote premature wear of components subjected to incomplete warm-up cycles, including the 12-volt battery, the mild hybrid 48-volt system components, engine oil, and the diesel particulate filter analogue components, whilst higher-mileage examples may show accelerated wear of clutches, brake friction material, and suspension consumables. Confirming the exact mileage via the dashboard and cross-referencing it with the service book or Ford digital service record is therefore an essential first step. Given the absence of MOT test outcomes, the prospective buyer must place particular emphasis on a detailed physical inspection tailored to the vehicle's age and standing time. Start by checking the tyres for age-related perishing or sidewall cracking, as even lightly used tyres deteriorate chemically after several years and the production date code on the sidewall should be verified. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion, particularly if the car has been standing for prolonged periods, and confirm that the calipers are not binding by ensuring the wheels rotate freely when unbraked. Inspect the underside, wheel arches, and suspension components for any early signs of corrosion, paying attention to the coil springs, anti-roll bar links, and bushes, which on a Puma of this age should remain in sound condition but warrant confirmation. Fluid condition should also be assessed, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and the health of the 48-volt mild hybrid system, as brake fluid is hygroscopic and degrades over time regardless of mileage. Finally, verify that the 12-volt battery and the mild hybrid system's separate battery component are functioning correctly, as low-voltage battery failure is a known concern on vehicles that have been used infrequently or stored for extended periods. Listen during the test drive for any suspension knocks, brake shudder, steering vibration, or unusual noises from the driveline, and confirm that all dashboard warnings, including hybrid system indicators, extinguish promptly after start-up. Ensure that the service book is fully stamped or that the digital service history is complete and up to date, and request evidence of any work carried out under warranty. Until the first MOT is due in 2028, a pre-purchase inspection by a competent independent garage, supplemented by a diagnostic scan using Ford-compatible equipment to check for any stored fault codes within the hybrid control modules, represents the most prudent course of action for any prospective buyer of this nearly new Puma.
