2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · FT62 VMZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2 June 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of the most recent inspection. While the car passed the latest test, the initial failure for a non-functional horn suggests a lack of pre-test preparation. The maintenance trend indicates a transition from a period of clean passes to a more frequent occurrence of mechanical failures in recent years, reflecting the natural aging process of a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The recorded mileage of 76,997 miles over thirteen years equates to a modest annual usage of approximately 5,900 miles. This low-mileage profile is consistent throughout the vehicle's life, with no significant gaps or irregular spikes in usage. The steady accumulation of miles suggests the car has been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps mitigate issues related to seized components or dried seals. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have shown signs of degradation in recent tests. The 2024 inspection identified significant corrosion on both rear coil springs, and the 2025 test flagged worn front brake discs, indicating that these heavy-wear components require ongoing monitoring. Although these items were addressed to achieve a pass, the recurring nature of tyre and lighting defects in the 2024 and 2025 records points to a pattern of deferred maintenance. A physical check of the suspension mounts and the condition of the brake discs is recommended to ensure that previous repairs were completed to a high standard rather than a minimum-effort threshold.
