2015 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · DN65 UBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 4 2026 at 43,677 miles. The maintenance trend shows a transition from minor wear-related advisories to a failure just one day prior due to a damaged offside rear tyre reaching the cords. While the immediate defect was rectified, the historical data indicates a pattern of developing wear in rubber components and braking systems consistent with the vehicle's age despite the low mileage. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 43,677 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the gap between the February 2023 test at 23,333 miles and the February 2025 test at 39,144 miles, where the car covered a relatively short distance over two years. However, low mileage often leads to material degradation, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking of tyres noted in the February 2025 report. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking system where recurring issues appeared. The 2025 test flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both rear sides, while the 2024 record noted misting on the offside front shock absorber and thinning front brake components. A buyer must verify if these components have been replaced or if the wear has progressed, as aged rubber bushes are prone to cracking and failure. The persistent oil leak mentioned in 2025 also warrants a close look under the chassis to ensure it has not escalated beyond a minor advisory.
