2014 Ford B-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SY14 JRU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 at 213,165 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during the last three annual inspections. This suggests the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards despite its high usage. The mileage is significantly above average for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 17,764 miles per year. Between 8 November 2023 and 28 November 2025, the odometer climbed from 190,659 to 213,165 miles. This accumulation of over 22,000 miles in two years indicates the car is used heavily, likely for long-distance commuting, which generally puts less strain on the engine than short urban trips but accelerates wear on the chassis and drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often degrade at this mileage, even if they passed a basic MOT. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for leaks or perishing. Given the high mileage, the state of the brake discs and pads should be verified for thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion or structural rust, as older Fords can be susceptible to oxidation in these areas. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the lack of recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle with over 200,000 miles. A thorough check of the engine oil and coolant for contamination is recommended to confirm the mechanical health of the drivetrain.
