2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · SG63 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass history over the last five years. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 17,659 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first advisories in the record. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean history with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance limits during previous annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,358 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 13,063 miles and December 2025 at 17,659 miles, the car covered only 4,596 miles. This low-use profile suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the low mileage also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based components due to stationary time rather than distance. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres, as the December 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres for perishing and cracking. This is a common symptom of a low-mileage vehicle that sits for extended periods, where the rubber dries out irrespective of remaining tread depth. The inspection should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust and seized own. While the MOT history shows no structural integrity issues or suspension failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check of the fluid hoses, suspension bushes, and timing belt for signs of dry rot or cracking. The lack of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained example, but the primary risk remains material fatigue over time rather than mechanical exhaustion.
