2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · CF13 AED

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 13 January 2026 after remedial work addressed the nearside rear‑view mirror adjustment and headlamp aim, confirming it is roadworthy at the time of testing. Earlier failures for brake‑disc wear and lighting faults have been rectified, indicating a stabilising maintenance pattern rather than a deteriorating one. At 112,758 miles the B‑MAX averages roughly 8,600 miles per year, a mileage rate that aligns with typical usage for a thirteen‑year‑old family car. The mileage log shows steady increments – from 56,972 miles in May 2016 to 112,758 miles in January 2026 – with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps, suggesting consistent, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or excessive short‑term mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should verify that the nearside rear‑view mirror now adjusts freely and that both headlamp beams sit within legal limits, as these items prompted the latest failure. The offside brake disc, previously noted as worn and scored, ought to be inspected for remaining thickness and surface condition. Attention to the rear lower coil springs for corrosion, the nearside front CV‑joint boot for severe deterioration, and the shock absorber for oil mist will reveal whether the earlier suspension concerns have been fully resolved. Finally, confirm that all stop lamps illuminate correctly, tyre tread remains safely above the legal minimum, and that brake balance and steering rack play are within specification, as these areas have featured recurrent advisories in the MOT history.
