2014 FORD B-MAX ZETEC1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend across its history. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 27,705 miles passed with no defects recorded, following an unexplained failure just weeks prior on 24 September 2025 at 27,680 miles. While the record does not specify the fault, the immediate rectification suggests a minor issue that was addressed quickly without indicating a deeper mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. Data shows a steady but slow accumulation, moving from 8,322 miles in February 2018 to 27,705 miles in October 2025. There is a notable gap between February 2019 and March 2021 tests where the car covered only 2,232 miles over two years. This level of low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, but it increases the risks associated with the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected with low-mileage storage and long-term inactivity. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when a car is used infrequently. Inspect rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, for cracking or degradation as these materials age over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust, ensuring the low mileage has not masked a vehicle prone to environmental decay.
