Mechanical Assessment

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

This 2013 Ford B-Max presents an exceptionally clean MOT record. The most recent test in October 2025 at 100,263 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This continues a clear and stable maintenance trend: every annual test since October 2021 has been a clean pass with zero advisories or failures. The pattern strongly indicates consistent, proactive upkeep by the previous owner. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable. The vehicle has covered roughly 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical private use. There are no suspicious gaps in the history or sudden jumps in mileage between tests. The annual increments are uniform, suggesting the car was used regularly without prolonged periods of standing idle. Given the complete absence of flagged defects across five years of testing, a buyer’s pre-purchase inspection should focus on age-related mechanical wear that may not yet have triggered an MOT failure. At over 100,000 miles, suspension components such as front wishbone bushes, anti-roll bar links, and rear axle mounts are nearing the end of their service life. Brake discs and pads, while likely replaced at some point, should be checked for lip wear and scoring. The exhaust system and rear brake lines are worth inspecting for surface corrosion, a common issue on this model. A thorough check of the clutch bite point and gearbox smoothness during a road test is also advisable, as these items are not assessed during an MOT.
