2014 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Diesel · AE64 POV

The 2014 Ford B-Max presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 82,910 miles on 8 September 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable with no defects logged at the most recent test. Prior to this, the vehicle failed on 4 September 2025 at 82,904 miles, yet the record shows no defects recorded against that failure, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical reason such as a late presentation rather than a fault condition. Mileage stands at 82,910 against a 12-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,909 miles per year and sitting within typical use for the age. The history shows a stark gap between the 16 July 2021 pass at 68,066 miles and the 2025 tests, during which only about 14,844 miles were covered across four years. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The clean defect record gives no flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity across the supplied entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion and brake caliper operation, as the sparse test history offers limited assurance on consumable wear. The 2021 to 2025 gap means tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition have gone unverified by MOT for a long interval. Given the recent pass and ordinary mileage, the B-Max shows no evidence of neglected mechanical care in the data. Verify the 4 September 2025 failure paperwork to confirm no hidden defect existed. Inspect for standing-related issues before purchase.
