2014 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · AE64 MLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 September 2025 at 37,714 miles which returned no recorded defects. This result indicates that any previously identified issues have been addressed effectively. The overall trend suggests a consistent approach to maintenance, as the car has passed its last five annual inspections without a single failure. At twelve years of age, the recorded mileage of 37,714 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 3,143 miles per year. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the timeline, such as the 2,761-mile interval between the September 2024 test and the subsequent September 2025 test. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The only notable technical note in the history occurred on 19 September 2024 at 34,953 miles when the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front inner brake pads as wearing thin. The fact that these were noted as advisories rather than failures, and that the following test showed no brake defects, suggests the owner performed the necessary replacement shortly thereafter. A buyer should still visually inspect the current condition of the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, which can occur on vehicles with such low usage frequency. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of suspension bushes, as these components can age independently of the distance driven. Checking for cracks in tyrealls and fluid levels is also advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from neglect. Beyond these routine checks, the data reflects a vehicle that has been well-maintained relative to its legal testing requirements.
