2016 Ford B-MAX 1.5L Diesel · FG66 VPR

The 2016 Ford B-Max presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 53,189 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in August 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural issues across its recent history. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 32,124 miles at the August 2022 test, rose to 40,004 miles by August 2023, then 46,598 miles in August 2024, and reached 53,189 miles by August 2025. That equates to an average of roughly 5,300 miles per year, with annual increments of 7,880, 6,594, and 6,591 miles respectively. The sparse, clean record shows no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps, and the low total suggests gentle domestic or short-trip operation rather than sustained motorway wear on drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable and age-related items the MOT does not routinely flag. At 53,189 miles and ten years old, suspension bushes, droplinks, and coil springs may show age degradation even where the tester noted nothing. Brake disc thickness and caliper condition warrant checking, as light use can promote surface corrosion and sticking. Examine the underside and sills for structural rust, particularly around mountings and the subframe, since low mileage cars left standing often develop corrosion unseen in a pass result. Verify service history covers cambelt and fluid intervals, as the clean MOT alone does not confirm preventative maintenance was observed by prior owners.
