2013 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · G2 GEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of deferred consumable repairs rather than mechanical failure. The most recent test in September 2025 at 38,624 miles passed with minor advisories related to tyre condition and a headlamp lens. While the car has passed its last three tests, the recurring nature of tyre-related defects across the last four years suggests an owner who only addresses issues once they trigger a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of 8,779 miles between September 2022 and August 2023, followed by another 5,545 miles between 2023 and September 2024. This low usage often results in less wear on drivetrain and engine components, but it accelerates the degradation of rubber-based parts, which is evidenced by the persistent cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in almost every inspection record. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the record has repeatedly flagged perishing and damage on multiple different corners since 2022. The steering rack inner joint play noted in 2023 at 27,044 miles requires verification to ensure it has not progressed into a significant fault. Additionally, given the low mileage and the thin brake pads reported in 2022, the braking system should be checked for corrosion or seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
