2016 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · AE16 ONL

The 2016 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 35,975 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after an anomalous failure in April 2024. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or neglected condition. Recorded mileage sits at 35,975 miles against roughly ten years of age, an average of about 3,598 miles per year. The test on 20 February 2023 captured 32,102 miles, rising only to 34,201 miles by 23 April 2024 and 35,975 miles by November 2025. This low, gradually accumulating mileage points to light use with long standing periods likely between tests. The sparse record shows just one failure on 23 April 2024 at 34,201 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 34,205 miles, suggesting an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and probable extended idle spells. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when MOT tests record no faults. The absence of flagged exhaust emissions or binding calipers in the history is reassuring but does not exempt the car from age-related deterioration. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, with the only blemish being the unexplained April 2024 failure quickly rectified. The clean advisory sheet across five tests implies consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades was addressed before each examination. Given the low annual coverage, verify the service record independently rather than relying on MOT outcomes alone.
