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

The 2014 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 February 2026 at 75,785 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA record shows no defects, advisories, or repeated failures at any stage. A prior failure on the same date at identical mileage carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 6,315 against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show 47,536 miles in May 2022, rising to 56,068 by June 2023, then 71,252 in August 2024, and 75,785 by February 2026. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans roughly fourteen months, yet accumulation stayed modest at under 15,000 miles. No rapid wear cycles or standing-related corrosion flags appear in the data. Given the clean sheet across every test, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness for age-related fatigue not yet at failure limits. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for early corrosion. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though a 12-year-old Ford can hide perishing rubber and tired dampers. Verify service history matches the low defect record before purchase.
