2015 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · AP15 AAF

This 2015 Ford B-Max presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 49,564 miles showing no defects or advisories. The trend over the past five annual inspections—each passing without fail—indicates a vehicle that has either been meticulously maintained or, more likely, driven lightly enough to avoid wear-related issues. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests no underlying mechanical neglect, though the lack of recorded mileage between tests (typically around 4,000–4,500 miles per year) raises questions about how actively the car has been used. Without any red flags in the official records, the roadworthiness status is stable, but the buyer should treat this as a baseline rather than an exhaustive assessment. The mileage accumulation is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, averaging just 4,506 miles per year over the past decade. This could reflect a secondary or occasional-use vehicle, or periods of inactivity—perhaps stored for extended durations. The gap between the 2021 test at 32,506 miles and the 2022 test at 35,836 miles (a 3,330-mile jump over 12 months) is the most modest increase in the record, reinforcing the impression of light or intermittent use. Such low mileage reduces wear on critical components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain, but it also means certain consumables—such as tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades—may have been overlooked if not replaced proactively. Given the absence of MOT advisories, there are no obvious red flags to prioritise in a pre-purchase inspection. However, the buyer should still verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components , as these are common areas where low-mileage vehicles might still show signs of age-related degradation if not serviced. A thorough check of the underbody for corrosion , particularly around wheel arches and sills, is prudent given the car’s age, even if the MOT history is flawless. The exhaust system and emission controls should also be inspected, as these can degrade over time regardless of mileage. Finally, while the MOT record is pristine, a compression test or oil analysis could reveal if the engine has been neglected during periods of inactivity.
