Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV Auto?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV Auto?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 1,683 vehicles, the 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV Auto has a first-time MOT pass rate of 96.4%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV Auto?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV Auto is a genuinely reliable first-time MOT performer, passing at 93.7% compared to the UK average of 80%—that's a 14-point lead that reflects solid build quality. With only 1.2% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, this model poses no unusual safety red flags for buyers.

At 17,546 miles median mileage for a two-year-old car, these are low-use examples, which partly explains the strong pass rates; however, the real strength lies in the minimal failure rate of just 0.07 per vehicle and very few advisories at 0.4 each. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the mileage variability, but this cohort's track record suggests you're looking at a mechanically sound proposition.

The 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
