2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · KS63 AAV

The 2013 Ford B-Max demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-12 at 47,352 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2025-03-20, 2024-03-20, and 2023-03-01 also showed passes, though one entry on 2025-03-20 incorrectly lists a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recurring mechanical issues across multiple tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. No advisories or critical faults were recorded, indicating no immediate safety risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 47,352 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 3,642 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. This low mileage could imply infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs through lack of use. However, the consistent annual MOT testing and absence of corrosion or structural issues in the record suggest the car has not suffered from prolonged neglect. The 2023-03-01 test at 41,126 miles and subsequent 2024-03-20 test at 44,236 miles show steady, controlled mileage progression without abrupt spikes. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for signs of wear, particularly if the low mileage has led to stiffness or dry joints. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent use can cause binding or rust. The vehicle’s structural integrity appears intact, but visual checks for rust on underbody panels or chassis seams are advisable. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2025-03-20 failure entry remains unexplained and warrants clarification with the seller or DVSA to confirm accuracy. Overall, the car’s maintenance pattern suggests responsible ownership, but physical inspection is essential to verify component condition.
