2015 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · D4 FJL

The vehicle presents a generally consistent maintenance record, though recent history indicates a minor mechanical oversight. In the most recent test on 20 June 2026 at 44,383 miles, the car initially failed due to a defective nearside headlamp on the dipped beam. This was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the same day with no recorded defects. Prior to this, the records from 2023 through 2025 show clean passes with no advisories, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to basic safety and legal standards over the last several years. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 44,383 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 4,035 miles per year. This low usage typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or seized brake parts due to inactivity. The single failure in June 2023 at 33,761 miles for front brake pads below the 1.5mm threshold shows that despite the low mileage, consumables are reaching the end of their life as expected. The lack of recurring advisories for corrosion, suspension play, or exhaust leaks across the eight-year history suggests the structural integrity remains sound for its age. The vehicle does not show an ongoing trend of worsening mechanical issues or escalating neglect. A buyer should simply verify that the headlamp repair was thorough and check the tyres for flat spotting or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently often age before the tread wears out.
