2018 Ford B-MAX 1.5L Diesel · NJ18 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on recent history. The most recent MOT test on 3 September 2025 at 48,359 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in August 2024 at 41,763 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep over the last two years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 48,359 miles, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 22,591 miles in April 2021 to the current 48,359 miles in late 2025. There are no signs of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity that might suggest the vehicle has been sitting idle for extended durations. The MOT history shows a period of concern in August and September 2023. The vehicle failed its test on 31 August 2023 at 34,051 miles due to excessive exhaust emissions and visible smoke, alongside a defective windscreen wiper. While the subsequent pass in September 2023 resolved these issues, the emission failure suggests a temporary lapse in engine management or fuel system maintenance. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system and check for any signs of smoke under load to ensure the previous emission issues remain fully resolved. Minor consumable maintenance issues have appeared sporadically, such as the perished rear tyres noted in the April 2021 test at 22,591 miles. Given the clean results in the most recent two years of testing, these appear to be isolated instances of wear rather than systemic neglect. A physical inspection of the current tyre tread, brake pad thickness, and suspension bushes is still advised to confirm that the recent trend of clean passes is reflected in the vehicle's current mechanical condition.
