AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford B-Max demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-19 confirming a pass at 53,193 miles. However, the record shows a duplicate entry for that date, listing both a pass and a fail with no defects recorded, which may indicate a data anomaly. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent compliance with safety standards. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension defects were flagged, indicating the vehicle has not exhibited critical mechanical degradation. The mileage of 53,193 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 4,092 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests the vehicle may have been lightly used or stored for extended periods, which can lead to issues like seized components or premature rubber degradation. The MOT tests are spaced consistently, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, reflecting regular maintenance. However, the absence of recorded defects on high-mileage components like exhaust systems or steering linkages is notable, as these often require attention in older vehicles. A buyer should inspect the undercarriage for rust, particularly around the chassis and suspension mounts, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant moisture. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as infrequent use can cause corrosion. Verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without regular driving. Despite the clean MOT history, the duplicate test entry on 2025-05-19 warrants clarification to confirm the vehicle’sTrue compliance status.
