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

The 2013 Ford B-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 33,282 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. From the 7 September 2021 test at 31,476 miles to the 9 September 2025 test at 33,282 miles, the car covered just 1,806 miles over four years, averaging roughly 450 miles annually. Each annual test records only minor increments: 32,331 in September 2023, 31,843 in September 2022, 32,858 in September 2024. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA record itself is sparse, listing five consecutive passes with zero advisories, which suggests either careful low-mileage ownership or prolonged periods of storage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber components and seized mechanisms that a static MOT bay check may not fully expose. Structural corrosion beneath sills and subframes warrants close examination despite the absence of advisories, given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor or intermittent storage. The clean test history implies previous owners kept basic statutory upkeep current, yet the negligible annual mileage means consumables such as tyres and brake discs may be aged rather than worn. Verify manufacturing dates on tyres and inspect for sidewall cracking before purchase.
