2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · AF63 NXS

The 2013 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 101,403 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 23 August 2023 at 84,869 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. Recorded mileage tracks closely to typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 77,230 miles at the 6 September 2022 test to 84,869 miles by August 2023, then 93,727 miles in August 2024 and 101,403 miles in August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,800 miles per year, a steady accumulation with no sudden spikes or dormant periods suggesting neglect or excessive commercial duty. The clean advisory history across all entries implies previous owners kept consumables and core systems within test limits, though sparse commentary means underlying wear was not formally logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as the MOT record offers no visibility of incipient wear that a clean pass does not capture. At 101,403 miles the original dampers and linkage components are due for scrutiny even without tester advisories. Structural underbody corrosion and exhaust emissions should be physically checked given the vehicle's age and the absence of any recorded corrosion findings to date. The lack of recurring faults or escalating advisories means no specific mechanical trend demands urgent correction. Prospective owners should budget for age-related consumable replacement rather than structural remediation, based strictly on the supplied test data.
