2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · CU13 VLM

The 2013 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 32,427 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 14 March 2025 at 30,959 miles, reversed later that same day at 30,963 miles with a pass and no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 27,495 miles in March 2023, 29,735 in March 2024, 30,963 in March 2025, and 32,427 in March 2026, an average annual gain of roughly 1,700 miles across the documented period. Such light use implies the car spent extended periods stationary, which can age rubber components and promote corrosion even where metal shows no active rot. The clean advisory columns across all five tests suggest the prior keeper kept basic consumables within limits, though sparse commentary means hidden wear is not ruled out. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low-use profile and risk of perished rubber or surface corrosion from standing. The tester logged no structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, so no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. Verify the 14 March 2025 failure reason with DVSA, as the zero-defect record on both that day's entries leaves the cause unstated.
