2012 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Diesel · PD54 BUT

This 2012 Ford B-Max demonstrates a remarkably clean recent roadworthiness record, capped by a pass on 26 January 2026 at 107,629 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable and positive, with consecutive clear passes recorded in January 2024, February 2025, and January 2026. While the history includes initial test failures on the same days as the subsequent passes in 2025 and 2026, these anomalies typically indicate administrative corrections or minor rectification work rather than deep-seated mechanical neglect, as zero defects were officially logged against those failures. The vehicle has accumulated 107,629 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 7,688 miles annually. This usage rate aligns closely with typical UK driving patterns, avoiding both the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commercial duties and the rubber degradation often triggered by prolonged periods of inactivity. The DVSA data reveals steady, incremental mileage accumulation between annual tests, pointing to consistent, year-round use rather than sporadic driving bursts. Prospective buyers should still conduct a rigorous physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory record. You need to check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components frequently wear out on Ford vehicles of this era and mileage. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for hidden corrosion, and verify that the complex sliding rear door mechanisms operate smoothly without alignment or latching faults.
