2013 Ford B-MAX 1.4L Petrol · EA13 WNL

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent shift toward mechanical wear. While the 2023 and 2024 tests showed clean records, the September 2025 test at 56,149 miles indicates a decline in condition. The tester initially failed the vehicle due to pitted front brake discs, worn axle swivel pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear, and insufficient washer fluid. Although the car passed following these issues, the presence of multiple suspension and braking advisories suggests that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage history indicates very light usage for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 4,319 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 8,169 miles, which is a slight increase over the long-term average. The jump from 46,134 miles in September 2024 to 56,149 miles in September 2025 shows a 10,015-mile interval. While the overall mileage remains low, the sudden appearance of wear items after years of clean tests may suggest that the vehicle has sat idle for periods, which can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs and perished rubber components in the suspension. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and rear suspension assembly. The September 2025 advisories regarding pitted front brake discs and worn rear axle bushes suggest that these parts will require replacement in the near future to maintain handling precision and stopping efficiency. The previous March 2023 advisory for front tyres worn on the edges also points to potential alignment issues that should be verified. Given the low mileage and the recent onset of these faults, a thorough check of the underside for corrosion and the condition of all rubber bushings is advisable to ensure the vehicle remains structurally sound and mechanically stable.
