FORD B-MAX2013 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 July 2025 at 60,942 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. Following a single failure in July 2023, the vehicle has achieved three consecutive passes without any advisory notices, suggesting that the previous owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues as they arise. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,688 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 52,348 miles and the July 2025 test at 60,942 miles, the car covered only 8,594 miles over three years. This consistency indicates primarily short-distance usage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and brake components if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Despite the clean recent MOT records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure in low-mileage cars. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Given the age of the Ford, a thorough underside check for structural rust on the sills and subframe is essential to ensure the integrity of the chassis remains uncompromised despite the low mileage.
