2017 Ford B-MAX 1.5L Diesel · MM67 HPU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following recent repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 18,089 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the owner has proactively addressed previous mechanical failures. While the history shows occasional failures related to consumables and suspension, the vehicle consistently returns to a clean pass, suggesting it is being maintained to a functional standard between tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though there is a notable gap in the records between December 2020 and January 2022, where the car covered only 1,364 miles in over thirteen months. Such low-mileage patterns often imply long periods of standing stationary, which can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting, or the spring failure observed despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and components, as the nearside rear coil spring was fractured in January 2024 at 15,517 miles. Although this was rectified, the low-mileage nature of the car means suspension bushes may be brittle from age rather than wear. The failure in January 2025 due to both front tyres being below the legal 1.6mm limit highlights a previous lapse in basic consumable maintenance. Ensure the current brake system is checked for corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles are prone to surface rust on discs and seized calipers.
