2015 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Diesel · GY65 AUL

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent pass history, despite minor consumable issues. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 51,065 miles recorded a pass, though the tester flagged a cut on the nearside front inner tyre sidewall. While the cut did not reach the cords, it indicates a recent impact or curb strike. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 48,244 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a serviceable condition without significant mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,642 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 22,673 miles in September 2018 to the current 51,065 miles. This pattern suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of total inactivity. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components, a trend visible in the September 2023 test at 45,230 miles where the tester noted slight cracking on both rear tyres. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and braking system. The 2021 failure at 35,474 miles highlighted low front brake wear and sidewall damage to the offside front tyre, indicating that maintenance on consumables has occasionally been reactive rather than proactive. While the brakes passed in subsequent years, the history of low pads suggests checking the remaining thickness and disc condition. The presence of tyre cracking in 2023 and sidewall damage in 2025 implies that the rubber may be aging faster than the tread wear suggests. Beyond the tyres, the lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust corrosion is encouraging. The absence of structural or emissions-related failures throughout the recorded history indicates a well-maintained drivetrain and chassis. A thorough check of the tyre sidewalls and a measurement of the remaining brake pad life will confirm if the current maintenance standard remains consistent with the previous years of testing.
