2017 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · P10 SBB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The March 2026 test at 21,848 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure during the same session. This pattern of passing after a failure suggests that minor issues are being addressed, though the specific nature of the failures remains undocumented in the provided record. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 2,428 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow progression from 20,257 miles in March 2024 to 21,172 miles in March 2025, and finally 21,848 miles in March 2026. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, such infrequent usage can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotting on tyres. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify any issues that the MOT testing regime might have missed. Focus specifically on the underside of the vehicle to check for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and structural components, as low-use vehicles often sit in damp environments. You should also inspect the condition of all suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear caused by long periods of inactivity. Check the service history to confirm if the oil and fluids have been changed according to manufacturer intervals despite the low mileage. Given the low annual usage, verifying the integrity of the battery and the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking is essential. The lack of recorded advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator, but the recurring failures in March 2024 and March 2026 warrant a closer look at the vehicle's immediate mechanical readiness.
