What to check when buying second hand

[makima]

Hey guys,

currently test driving different used non-hybrid automatic Pumas.

Any specific points I should look into, when chosing a used Puma? apart of usual computer diagnosis and check the underneath, obviously.

Yep, check it has all the software updates it needs.
Mechanically it's a very reliable car so far.
I would go for the ST-Line and above rather than the titanium. The 125 engine is perfectly good for day to day driving and you won't find it lacking if your budget won't stretch to the 155.

Yes, the one to be chosen at this point is an automatic St line X

will try checking out all the updates, a bit tricky the only dealer is out until new year so only either indys or maybe something like Forscan on android? (read it’s a decent scan tool for Fords)

Also check the normal stuff , condition, owners, history .

currently inspecting this one.

what colour is this? a bit confused, thought it is the gray matter initially.

second question, is this the engine with the chain or belt?

cheers

Colour is Solar Silver.... looks very nice. Engines are all chain driven cams.

Is that one an X? It seems to have the correct wheels but an aerial not a shark fin.

Maybe different spec over there.

Looks nice though and has front sensors too.

[makima]

it’s advertised as a St-line X.

hi to everyone from Moldova, indeed.

That engine looks like it's spent some time on a farm.
