2013 Ford B-MAX 1.0L Petrol · SV63 CUJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical wear. While it passed its most recent January 2026 test at 91,213 miles, it failed that same day due to electrical faults and structural degradation issues. The presence of a minor exhaust leak that persisted from the failure to the pass, along with worn trailing arm bushes on both rear sides, suggests that components were previously overlooked and are now reaching the end of their service life. At 91,213 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with a 4,336-mile gap between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,178 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, though the low mileage points to age-related corrosion rather than high-mile stress. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring corrosion on front brake pipes noted in 2024 and again in 2026, which the tester noted was covered in grease, potentially masking the extent of the rust. The rear trailing arm bushes are now flagged as worn, which will eventually affect handling and alignment. Furthermore, the exhaust system should be inspected for the minor leak, as this could lead to an emissions failure if the condition worsens.
