2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · FP13 EVR

The 2013 Ford B-Max presents a stable and unbroken roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 30,043 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a five-year sequence of clean results. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no outstanding advisories across the entire history. Annual mileage sits well below typical norms for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. From the 6 October 2021 test at 24,262 miles, the car added only 5,781 miles by November 2025, averaging roughly 1,150 miles per year. The longest gap, between 25 October 2023 (27,439 miles) and 5 November 2024 (28,894 miles), covered just 1,455 miles. Such low use implies extended standing periods, though the sparse, fault-free record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points, as prolonged inactivity accelerates rubber perishing and hidden corrosion more than high-mileage use. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for seizure after long storage, despite no binding or imbalance being flagged in the tests. The absence of any advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or tyre condition across all five entries suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a basic but sufficient standard. Given the clean history, pre-purchase scrutiny should focus on age-related degradation invisible to the MOT, not on rectifying prior failures.
