2017 FORD B-MAX1.0L Petrol

The 2017 Ford B-Max presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 32,354 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is resolving toward excellent condition, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged across the entire DVLA history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 20,514 miles at the 24 June 2021 test, rising to 23,305 by 15 June 2022, 25,785 by 6 June 2023, 29,424 by 12 June 2024, and 32,354 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 3,600 miles per year, confirming light use with no sudden accumulation spikes or dormant gaps between tests. The sparse, fault-free data implies the previous keeper carried out timely annual testing and avoided neglect, though low mileage alone does not confirm proactive consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Dormant storage can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers even when MOT tests show clean. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables degrade with time rather than mileage and may never have triggered an advisory. No exhaust emissions failures or structural integrity concerns appear in the record. The absence of advisories across five years suggests sound underlying engineering, but a pre-purchase check of underbody rust and binding calipers remains prudent on a low-use 2017 hatchback.
