2016 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · NC16 AAU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a successful MOT on 16 July 2026 at 68,999 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglecting basic consumables, specifically tyres and lighting, which suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. While the most recent test cleared all defects, the failure just one day prior on 15 July 2026 for tyre tread depth below 1.6mm and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system indicates that the vehicle was presented for testing in a sub-standard condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 19,974 miles in June 2019 to the current 68,999 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, with annual inspections maintained from 2019 through to 2026. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle is used regularly for local commuting rather than long-distance motorway travel. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the tyre and wheel alignment history. The records from June 2023 and June 2020 both flagged tyres worn heavily on the inner edges, which often points to underlying suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. The repeated failures for stop lamp malfunctions in 2020, 2021, and 2025 suggest intermittent electrical faults or bulb holder issues that should be verified. Beyond the documented consumables, the recent failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system warrants a technical check to ensure the sensor or control module is fully operational. While the MOT history does not show structural corrosion or brake disc deterioration, the history of thin brake pads in 2019 and the frequent tyre issues mean a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components is necessary to ensure no further wear has occurred between recorded inspections.
