2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · CU63 VPP

The 2013 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 94,549 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations in September 2024 and September 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 5 September 2024 at 92,802 miles, reversed by a pass one week later on 12 September 2024 at 92,854 miles, with no defects listed on either certificate. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle has shown no worsening condition across its recorded history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car. The record shows 88,033 miles in September 2022, rising to 90,059 by September 2023, 92,854 by September 2024, and 94,549 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 2,200 miles in the first year of the record and under 1,700 miles annually thereafter, well below the implied average of 7,273 per year. Low annual use of this nature can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and brake components through standing, even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points given the car's age and low mileage pattern. The tester recorded no advisories for worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs across any test, so no recurring mechanical trend is evident. The absence of flagged items does not exempt the next owner from checking for perished rubber, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions drift that a stationary period can mask. Given the clean pass sequence and stable record, the B-Max reads as a lightly used example with no documented structural or mechanical risks. The September 2024 fail with no defects cited remains unexplained but was corrected within days. Prospective buyers should verify service history and confirm underside condition before purchase.
