2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · AK62 AEE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 120,200 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,586 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 14,718 miles added between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by a further 11,304 miles leading into the October 2025 test. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate periods of neglect or extreme commercial use. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the absence of any advisories over three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment, as these components often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Check the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns, which would indicate alignment issues not captured in the DVSA data. Particular attention should be paid to the underside for surface corrosion, especially around the sills and suspension mounting points. Since the record shows no structural failures, the primary risk is age-related degradation of rubber seals and gaskets. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals align with the recorded mileage, as the MOT only confirms basic roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
