Insight summary
Ford Puma is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 2,031 represented vehicles and 0.00% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 70.1% from 17,113 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 48. The current pool shows an average of 77,198 miles and an average age of 20.9 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 84,935 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by hybrid electric, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, lighting and driveshaft boots. The practical read is that the Ford Puma looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
