2013 Ford B-MAX 1.4L Petrol · AE13 RBV

The 2013 Ford B-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a current clean pass. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 74,652 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date showing no listed defects, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also passed with no advisories, confirming a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. Recorded mileage sits at 74,652 against a 13-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 5,742 miles per year. The odometer moved from 65,488 in July 2022 to 69,224 in July 2023, then 71,993 in July 2024, and 74,652 by July 2025. Annual accumulation held near 2,600 to 2,800 miles, indicating light use with no abrupt gaps or surge in wear. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may mask perished rubber or corroded calipers from prolonged standing. The absence of advisories across all tests means no recurring tyre, exhaust, or emissions issues were logged by testers. Verify the July 2025 fail-and-pass pair with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Check underbody for structural rust and test the handbrake and binding rear brakes before purchase, as MOT cleanliness at low mileage does not exempt aged Ford components from fatigue.
