2013 FORD B-MAX1.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT rating, but the record indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition that has not been corrected since the 2023-03-03 test. The most recent test on 2026-03-17 at 37,197 miles passed, yet the subsequent tests in 2025-03-05 and 2024-03-06 failed, with the most recent failure occurring on 2023-03-03. This sequence suggests that the vehicle has experienced a rapid accumulation of wear and tear, likely driven by the high mileage associated with its age of approximately 13 years. The consistent failure of the offside windscreen wiper and the mirror housing in the 2023-03-03 test indicates that the suspension and structural integrity have become compromised, requiring immediate professional intervention. The mileage pattern reveals a clear trend of rapid consumption, where the vehicle accumulated over 2,800 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests, a period that includes two failed tests. This rapid accumulation suggests that the vehicle has been driven with a high level of stress, possibly due to frequent stops and starts or poor maintenance habits, leading to accelerated failure of critical components such as the windscreen wipers and mirrors. While the initial 2026-03-17 test passed, the subsequent failures indicate that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced to prevent these specific mechanical breakdowns. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the severity of the structural risks associated with the failing mirror housing and windscreen wiper, as well as the potential corrosion and wear on the suspension bushings. Given the history of failed tests on the mirrors and wipers, the vehicle is likely in a state of high risk of further failure if not addressed immediately. The most recent test on 2026-03-17 at 37,197 miles passed, but the subsequent failures in 2025 and 2023 confirm that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced to prevent these specific mechanical breakdowns.
