2012 FORD B-MAX1.0L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 13 January 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows consecutive failed attempts immediately preceding the successful passes in both 2024 and 2026, the lack of specific advisory items or failure reasons suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than underlying mechanical failures. The overall trend remains stable, indicating that the vehicle has been presented for testing in a compliant condition over the last three years. With a current reading of 39,977 miles at fourteen years of age, the vehicle averages approximately 2,856 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the recorded history, showing steady, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity or erratic spikes in accumulation. Such limited mileage often preserves drivetrain components, yet it necessitates a careful check for age-related degradation in rubber components, such as suspension bushes, coolant hoses, and timing belt integrity, which can perish regardless of distance covered. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the braking system and suspension geometry, as these components frequently suffer from light surface corrosion when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear caused by long-term standing, and verify that the suspension struts and coil springs remain free of heavy oxidation. Given the clean MOT record, the primary risk remains hidden deterioration of perishable rubber and seals, so a thorough check for fluid leaks underneath the engine and transmission is recommended before purchase.
