Moderate sample. 329 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2021 Ford Puma is a genuinely reliable performer, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.2% — well ahead of the UK average of 80% — and only 4.9% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, which is low enough not to be a concern for buyers. The petrol engine variant passes at 95.4%, showing consistent build quality across the sample.

These cars are still relatively young with a median mileage of just under 20,000 miles, so you're looking at well-maintained examples that average only 0.15 failures per test and 1.2 advisories — minor wear items rather than structural problems. Check the service history before buying, as this cohort's strong record suggests proper maintenance has been the norm; if a car comes with full Ford service stamps, that's a green light.

The 2021 Ford Puma ST Line Vignale Auto 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.
