2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · DN62 XUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to essential repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 51,485 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure for an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and a dangerously worn nearside front tyre. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an official MOT failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 51,485 miles is significantly low, averaging just under 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from age-related deterioration, such as the degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake seals due to long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the supplementary restraint system, as the fault warning lamp recorded in August 2024 at 48,270 miles indicates a persistent electronic or sensor issue. The previous failure for low brake fluid levels in that same test also suggests a potential leak in the hydraulic system or calipers that requires close monitoring. Given the uneven wear noted on the nearside front tyre in 2025, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure that worn suspension components are not causing premature tyre scrubbing.
