With 3 Ford Pumas currently available on Motoring Today, starting from £14,995 or a representative £279 per month, this popular crossover offers a modern option for used car buyers. Our listings cover models from 2023, reflecting recent versions of the car. While the initial purchase price is clear, understanding the full cost of ownership is essential when budgeting for any used vehicle. Beyond the upfront cost, key factors influencing the running costs of a used Ford Puma include fuel or charging expenses, the annual Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) or "road tax" – which varies depending on the car's age and emissions – and insurance premiums, which are tailored to individual circumstances. Regular servicing and maintenance are also crucial for reliability and longevity. Another significant element often overlooked is depreciation, the amount a car loses in value over time. Although used cars generally depreciate slower than new ones, it remains a real running cost. Our detailed calculators on this page can help you estimate these expenses for the Ford Puma you're considering. Remember that finance examples, like the £279 monthly figure, are representative and subject to status.
