Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The 2017 Ford B-Max presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 30,661 miles returned a pass with no advisories recorded. A failed entry on the same date at 30,660 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend across the available history is clean and consistent, with no recurring wear or structural concerns flagged by testers. Mileage sits at 30,661 against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 3,400 miles per year. The records show 24,685 miles on 23 August 2022, 25,082 on 12 September 2023, 25,658 on 28 August 2024, and 30,661 on 12 December 2025. Annual accumulation stayed under 1,000 miles for three years before a 5,000-mile jump in the final period. Such low use suggests light urban running or extended standing, though the sparse five-entry history limits deeper wear pattern analysis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's low-mileage standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishing and seizing. The DVSA record shows no corrosion, exhaust emission failures, or structural integrity issues across any test. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, with no failed mechanical items or skipped advisories. The duplicate 12 December 2025 entries imply a paperwork or system error rather than neglect. Verify service history independently to confirm consumables like tyres and wiper blades received attention absent from MOT data.
