AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Ford B-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 14 April 2025 at 63,289 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows two failures on the same day as the passes in April 2023 and April 2025, the absence of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately during the test. The vehicle has covered 63,289 miles over 13 years, averaging roughly 4,868 miles per year. This is low usage for a car of this age. The mileage progression is consistent, increasing from 52,015 miles in April 2023 to 55,696 miles in April 2024, and finally to 63,289 miles by April 2025. This steady increase indicates the car has remained in active use rather than sitting dormant for long periods. The lack of advisories across the last three years is uncommon for a vehicle of this vintage. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs appear in the data. The record suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection focusing on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for corrosion on the sills and chassis, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity. Inspect the tyre dates and rubber perishables, as low-mileage cars often require replacements due to age-related cracking rather than tread wear. Verify the brake fluid condition and oil quality to ensure the low mileage has not led to neglected service intervals.
