2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · BK13 AEA

The Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy following the September 2025 test pass at 92,457 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. On 10 September 2025 the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day with no defects logged at identical mileage, indicating a procedural anomaly rather than mechanical fault. Prior tests in August 2024 and September 2023 also returned passes with zero defects or advisories. The record shows no worsening pattern and no recurring mechanical issues. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2013 vehicle. The odometer read 67,238 miles at the September 2023 test, rose to 78,124 miles by August 2024, and reached 92,457 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 10,900 miles in the first interval and 14,300 in the second, producing an overall average near 7,100 miles per year. The sparse three-year MOT data contains no gaps exceeding thirteen months and reveals no rapid accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain wear. Despite the clean MOT ledger, a buyer should physically inspect age-sensitive components that tests may overlook until failure. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or corrosion advisories, yet a thirteen-year-old B-Max may harbour degraded rubber mounts or surface rust on structural members. Examine the subframe, sills, and exhaust system for structural integrity and confirm brake disc thickness and caliper operation during a road trial. The duplicate fail and pass entries on both 2024 and 2025 dates at near-identical mileages warrant verification of the DVSA certificates and vehicle documentation. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without neglect, as evidenced by continual annual compliance, but the absence of recorded minor consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades suggests those items were replaced outside the test regime. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent.
