The FORD PUMA (1997-03) 3DR COUPE 1.6 is a small, two-door sporty coupe, rather than the later Puma SUV. It brought a more playful, stylish choice to Ford’s affordable small-car range, sitting alongside practical superminis but appealing to drivers wanting something more distinctive. Its compact size suits UK roads and parking. mycarcheck.com has recorded 135 look-ups covering 70 different VINs, a useful sample for this older model. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 83,000 miles and roughly 4,000 miles a year, suggesting many are now occasional-use cars. The average keeper count is about three; the average private-sale valuation shown is £200, a notably low figure that reflects the age of the cars and should not be treated as a live asking price. Best for solo drivers or couples, it offers nimble handling and a lively feel; compared with small hatchbacks, its coupe styling trades rear-seat access for real character.
