Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in April 2026 at 10,933 miles resulted in a pass with only a defective offside front wiper blade noted. This represents a minor consumable failure that does not indicate underlying mechanical or structural issues, following three years of clean test records between 2022 and 2025. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2017 Ford B-Max, averaging approximately 1,215 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap between April 2022 and April 2023 where the vehicle covered only 60 miles, suggesting long periods of inactivity. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. The consistent accumulation of roughly 1,200 to 1,800 miles annually since indicates that the engine and transmission have faced minimal stress compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or seizing, as vehicles that sit idle often develop binding brakes or pitted rotors. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, which occurs due to age regardless of distance driven. Given the clean MOT history regarding structural integrity and exhaust emissions, the vehicle appears to have been well-kept, provided the fluids and belts have been changed according to time rather than just mileage intervals.
