2015 Ford B-MAX 1.6L Petrol · WN65 AKV

The 2015 Ford B-Max, as evidenced by its most recent MOT test on 15 September 2025, remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The consistent annual pass history—spanning five consecutive tests from 2021 to 2025—indicates a stable maintenance trend, free from recurring advisories or failings. No warnings for suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or corrosion were logged, suggesting the vehicle has not experienced mechanical degradation requiring urgent attention. The most recent test at 50,303 miles confirms the absence of structural faults, exhaust emissions issues, or drivetrain concerns, aligning with the vehicle’s expected service intervals for its age. The recorded mileage of 50,303 miles over 11 years—approximately 4,573 miles annually—falls below the average for a vehicle of this age, which typically accumulates closer to 8,000–10,000 miles per year. This lower usage may imply lighter operational demands, though it could also reflect prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, battery health, and fluid degradation. The consistent annual mileage increments—ranging from 3,192 to 3,724 miles between tests—show no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation, which might otherwise raise concerns about neglect or irregular servicing. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the front and rear bushes and ball joints, as these are common wear items not always captured in a standard MOT. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness, glazed discs, or binding calipers—conditions that could develop between MOT intervals. Corrosion checks are essential, focusing on the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, especially given the vehicle’s age; even minor rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, the battery, fluids (brake, coolant, power steering), and tyre tread depth—despite no MOT warnings—should be verified, as these consumables degrade predictably with age and mileage.
