AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2014 Ford B-Max passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 23,988 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no mechanical advisories or failures carrying fault codes. The vehicle holds a clean test record from the June 2023 through June 2025 entries, showing no worsening wear or recurring structural concerns logged by DVSA testers. Recorded mileage sits at 23,988 miles against roughly twelve years of age, an average of about 1,999 miles per year. The June 2024 test at 22,281 miles and the June 2025 test at 23,988 miles show only 1,707 miles added in that year. The low annual use implies light running, though the two failed tests on 20 June 2023 and 12 June 2025 both list no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical fault and suggests the prior owners simply corrected paperwork or retested without addressing any flagged part. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing idle that can accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers or exhaust emissions breaches, yet twelve-year-old Ford B-Max bodies merit a structural integrity check for underbody rust where moisture trapping occurs. Given the sparse and clean record, no recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade failures appears. The low mileage and fault-free tests indicate basic upkeep was maintained, but physical verification of steering joints and subframe condition remains prudent before purchase.
