2015 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · EN65 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 82,448 miles resulted in a failure due to a faulty wiper blade, a failed stop lamp, and poor front tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification, the recurring nature of tyre wear across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses basic consumable items when they reach legal limits or cause failure. At 82,448 miles over eleven years, the Ford B-Max averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 9,000 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for engine-related components and rubber seals. A buyer must specifically inspect the front-end alignment and suspension geometry given the persistent reports of inner edge wear on the front tyres in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This pattern often indicates worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber settings that will rapidly deplete new rubber. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding thin front brake pads necessitates a physical check of the current pad life and disc rotor condition to ensure they have not been neglected since that warning.
