2014 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · CY14 DMU

The 2014 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 68,368 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring defects, or escalating wear across the five-year documented history. Annual mileage sits low for a twelve-year-old car at roughly 5,700 miles per year. The records trace a steady climb from 53,009 miles at the 19 January 2022 test to 68,368 miles by January 2026, averaging about 3,800 miles between tests. No gaps appear in the sequence and no sudden accumulation occurs; the clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept the car lightly used and serviced to MOT standard each year. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low mileage combined with the B-Max's age raises the prospect of perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, door seals, and brake hoses that a static test may not expose. Standing periods between short journeys can also encourage corrosion on sills and subframes even where the tester logged no structural issues. Check the brake discs and calipers for lip wear or sticking from infrequent use, and confirm tyre sidewalls show no cracking from age rather than tread loss. The absence of advisories means no specific weak point is flagged, but a twelve-year-old Ford warrants a closer look at the rear torsion beam and exhaust hangers for hidden rust before purchase.
