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 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the chronological history of MOT tests. In the most recent inspection conducted on 31 July 2025 at 45,403 miles, the car passed without any recorded defects. This follows a successful test in 24 July 2024 at 43,812 miles, though the vehicle had previously failed a test on that same day. The data indicates that the mechanical issues identified in 2024 were addressed effectively, as the subsequent test met all safety standards. The mileage mileage is notably low for an artwork-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,128 miles per year to reach 45,403 miles. This low usage typically results in reduced wear on mechanical components such as the engine assembly, brake discs, and suspension bushings. However, the record shows a consistent annual testing schedule, with passes in July 2022 and August 2023, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary which can lead to age-related degradation like seized brake components or perished rubber. The failure on 24 July 2024 is the only point of concern in the provided history. Because the vehicle passed the re-test that same day and all following tests since, the specific fault was likely isolated and rectified. A buyer should verify the specific nature of that 2024 failure to ensure no deeper structural issues or recurring mechanical leaks persist. Beyond that single event, the history shows no recurring advisories or persistent defects, indicating the structural integrity and safety systems have remained compliant throughout the last three years.

Our Verdict

This Ford B-MAX presents a stable MOT history with consistent mileage accumulation. It is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a practical MPV, provided the vehicle's service history aligns with the recorded test dates.

When inspecting this B-MAX, focus on the unique sliding rear door mechanism, which is a signature feature of this model. Ensure the tracks are clean and the doors operate smoothly without sticking, as repairs to these systems can be costly. Check for any signs of water ingress around the door seals, as this is a known area for potential wear.

Verify that the vehicle's service history matches the mileage intervals recorded in the MOT data. Since the car has averaged roughly 4,100 miles per year, ensure that the engine oil and filters have been changed regularly, rather than just relying on the MOT passes to confirm the vehicle's roadworthiness.

The 1.6-litre petrol engine in this B-MAX typically offers moderate fuel economy suitable for both urban and motorway driving. Insurance groups for the B-MAX are generally reasonable, though it is advisable to obtain a quote based on your specific postcode and driving history.

Maintenance costs should be in line with standard Ford servicing, with parts being widely available. Budget for periodic checks on suspension components and tyres, which are the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are approximately £1,200–£1,500.

While this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record, you should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Pay close attention to the suspension arms and bushes, as these are the most common failure points for the B-MAX model across the UK. Check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues not captured during the annual test.

Additionally, inspect the bodywork for any signs of previous repairs, particularly around the sliding door apertures. Ensure all electrical features, including the infotainment system and climate control, are fully functional, as these can be expensive to rectify if they fail outside of the standard MOT assessment.

This 2015 silver Ford B-MAX has covered 45,403 miles over its 11-year life. The MOT record is notably clean, with four consecutive passes and no recorded advisories since 2022. The 2024 failure was administrative or transient in nature, as the vehicle passed on the same day with no defects recorded.

The Ford B-MAX holds an average MOT pass rate of 80.2% across the fleet, with suspension and tyre issues being the primary areas of concern for testers.
