2013 FORD C-MAX1.6L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 December 2025 at 111,654 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum legal standards. While the vehicle suffered a failure in December 2024 at 105,204 miles, the immediate re-test and pass on the same day suggest the previous owner was proactive in addressing the identified faults quickly. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The data shows a period of higher usage between February 2023 (86,333 miles) and December 2023 (100,047 miles), where the car covered over 13,000 miles in ten months. Since then, the usage has moderated, with roughly 6,400 miles recorded between the December 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often leads to component degradation. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the areas most prone to wear at this mileage and age. Despite the recent clean records, the high-mileage necessitates a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for signs of excessive corrosion or perished rubber. Given the 2024 failure, it is advisable to verify the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical issue. Checking the structural integrity of the rear sills and wheel arches is also essential, as these are common points of rust on Ford models of this era.
