2016 Ford B-MAX 1.5L Diesel · CU16 UKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 95,107 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories regarding perishing rubber on both front tyres. This follows a minor failure in March 2025 for a blown bulb and an insecure undertray, both of which were rectified immediately to secure a passing result on the same day. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 89,198 miles and March 2026 at 95,107 miles, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable use rather than long periods of neglect. This consistent usage suggests the mechanical components and drivetrain have likely operated at a standard rate, which generally reduces the risk of sudden failure compared to vehicles that sit. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front tyres specifically, as the March 2026 advisory notes cracking and perishing which indicates the rubber is degrading due to age rather than remaining tread depth. The record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake binding, or suspension failures, which is a positive indicator for a Ford of this era. Verify that the undertray remains securely fastened to ensure the 2025 failure was properly addressed and has not come loose again through vibration.
