2022 Ford Maverick 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AE22 BKA

This Ford Maverick passed its most recent MOT on 21 July 2025 at 31,142 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend for the available test period. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention between tests. However, the single data point from July 2025—just over a year ago—means no long-term pattern can be confirmed. Buyers should treat this as a snapshot rather than a comprehensive history, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the lack of prior tests for comparison. The recorded mileage of 31,142 miles over approximately four years implies an average of around 7,786 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps in service or test records to suggest prolonged neglect, nor is there evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might indicate heavy or irregular use. Without earlier MOTs or service logs, it remains impossible to assess whether earlier wear patterns were addressed or if critical components like suspension bushes or brake calipers were replaced proactively. The current mileage suggests moderate usage, but buyers should verify whether this aligns with the vehicle’s actual condition through a thorough inspection. Given the sparse MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, subframe mounts, and rear trailing arm bushes—for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The brake system, while not flagged in the latest test, should be examined for uneven disc wear, binding calipers, or excessive rotor thickness, as repeated braking loads could lead to hidden issues. Additionally, check for structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as the Maverick’s body-on-frame construction makes it vulnerable to rust progression over time. A pre-purchase inspection should also confirm the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly at joints and mounts, given its proximity to the underbody.
