2013 FORD C-MAX2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 83,635 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend compared to the previous two years where the vehicle failed initial tests prior to passing. The transition to a clean sheet in the latest inspection suggests that any mechanical issues identified in earlier tests were addressed, and the car is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-average profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 17,344 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, which indicates a period of higher usage followed by a more recent decline to 2,187 miles over the final year. This low annual mileage for a thirteen-year-old Ford generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of lower use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or internal corrosion in fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, although the provided data does not list the specific reasons for those failures. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is essential as these are common points of corrosion on this model. The inspector should also look for signs of binding calipers or perished suspension bushes to ensure that the low mileage has not masked age-related decay of critical mechanical components.
