2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · YT13 ABZ

The 2013 Ford B-Max has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three tests, all passing without fail. The most recent test on 2025-01-03 confirmed roadworthiness at 73,147 miles, though the immediate preceding test at 73,146 miles failed—likely due to a procedural oversight rather than mechanical failure, given the lack of recorded issues. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with MOT standards, though the repeated retest at the same mileage raises minor suspicion about administrative consistency rather than underlying mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 73,147 miles over 13 years indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging just 5,627 miles per year. This is well below the typical range for a vehicle of this age, implying prolonged periods of inactivity or light use. The gaps between tests—spaced roughly 12 months apart—align with standard MOT intervals, but the absence of any advisories or defects over this period suggests either meticulous maintenance or deferred attention to wear items. No rapid mileage spikes are evident, which could otherwise signal accelerated component wear. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of recorded faults does not preclude gradual deterioration—binding brakes, uneven tyre wear, or corrosion in wheel arches and sills should be checked. Additionally, the battery, which is not MOT-tested, may require verification, as 13 years can accelerate corrosion in terminals and internal degradation. Structural integrity, particularly around the rear subframe and floorpan, warrants scrutiny, as rust propagation is common in this class of vehicle. No advisories in the MOT history imply these areas have not been flagged before, but visual confirmation is essential.
