2015 Ford B-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SW15 AAV

The 2015 Ford B-Max demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-07-14 at 82,319 miles. However, the immediate prior test on 2025-07-10 at 82,179 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-compliance. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle. The recent failure without recorded issues raises questions about the test outcome but does not confirm mechanical deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 82,319 miles over 11 years aligns with an average of 7,484 miles annually, typical for its age. Notably, the 11,499-mile increase between the 2024-07-08 test (70,820 miles) and 2025-07-14 test (82,319 miles) reflects a higher-than-average annual usage, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The sparse MOT record, with no defects listed since 2022, suggests minimal mechanical intervention but does not confirm the absence of underlying issues. Buyers should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Fords, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The high mileage in the past year warrants scrutiny of the exhaust system for leaks or rust, particularly around the catalytic converter. Additionally, a thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion is advisable, as the vehicle’s age and usage patterns could exacerbate rust in vulnerable areas. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as MOT tests may not detect all mechanical or structural concerns.
