2016 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · AE16 RZL

The 2016 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 37,728 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. The prior day, 18 February 2026, shows a fail at the same mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from February 2023 to February 2026, every completed test passed cleanly with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Mileage sits low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 25,910 miles in February 2023, 29,979 in February 2024, 33,983 in February 2025, and 37,728 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, well below the national average. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though long stationary periods implied by low use can allow perished rubber components or seized calipers to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of suspension arms and coil springs. The brake calipers and handbrake mechanism warrant manual verification for binding after standing. Tyres and wiper blades need visual wear assessment despite no advisories being raised. The absence of recurring defects suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current. The unexplained fail with no defects recorded on 18 February 2026 should be clarified with the selling garage before purchase.
