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

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?

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?

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.

Is the 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV reliable?

Based on MOT data from 7,086 vehicles, the 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV has a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.8%, 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?

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 is a strong performer, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.0% well ahead of the UK average of 80.0%, and only 2.4% of vehicles ever showing a dangerous defect—a low concern for safety-critical issues. The petrol engine variant (which makes up virtually all of this cohort) maintains that 94.0% pass rate consistently.

At a median mileage of 20,764 miles for a two-year-old model, these are relatively lightly used vehicles, which explains the exceptionally low failure rate of just 0.09 per vehicle; the 0.6 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear items are beginning to appear but nothing serious. When you come to buy one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the hybrid battery system and electrical connections, as the Cummuter's light mileage makes high-mileage mechanical wear less predictable.

The 2022 Ford Puma ST Line MHEV passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
