The 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line X Vignale MHEV is a genuinely reliable proposition, passing its first MOT 93.8% of the time against a UK average of 80%—that's a 13.8-point advantage and well above what you'd expect from a car this age. Dangerous defects are rare at 3.6%, so safety isn't a concern here.

These cars are running around 18,289 miles at the median, which is low for their age and suggests steady, gentle use. When failures do happen they're minor (0.06 per vehicle on average), and advisories are equally sparse at 0.5 per car, which means you're looking at a model with few recurring weak spots—if you're shopping for one, a pre-purchase inspection of the suspension and brakes would be the sensible precaution, but you're buying into a strong reliability story.
