2016 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · DF16 VHE

The vehicle currently holds a passing status for roadworthiness, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 25,099 miles passed despite both front tyres being flagged as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a June 2024 advisory at 22,257 miles regarding thin front brake pads, suggesting that the owner only addresses components once they are specifically highlighted during the annual inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with a gap of only 2,842 miles recorded between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber components, brake seals, and fluid corrosion if the car has sat stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and tyre alignment, as the recurring reports of edge wear on front tyres in 2022 and 2025 indicate potential geometry issues or worn suspension bushes. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers or pitted discs, as the 2024 advisory confirms the pads were already nearing their limit. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the tyres sidewalls and check for age-related cracking, as these are common failure points for vehicles that are used infrequently.
