2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · SP13 XKB

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards neglected components. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 27,442 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were absent in the previous year. This indicates a transition from a clean service record to one requiring immediate attention, specifically regarding the braking system and front suspension, suggesting that low-mileage use may have resulted in deferred preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only over 2,100 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between July 2024 and October 2024, where the car covered only 264 miles, followed by a jump of 2,732 miles over the following year. This suggests the vehicle sat stationary for long periods or saw very limited short trips. Such low usage often leads to secondary issues with rubber components and surface corrosion on metalwork, which aligns with the corroded parts noted in the latest MOT report. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly and braking hardware. The nearside front brake pipe was flagged for corrosion and grease contamination in July 2024 and remained a concern through October 2025, indicating a failure to address a known defect. Both lower suspension arms now show corrosion which, while not yet structurally weakened, requires monitoring to prevent it from leading to a failure. The front brake pads were reported as wearing thin and both front tyres were near the legal limit, confirming that the consumables have reached the end of their service life despite the low odometer reading.
