2007 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · BG57 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in the January 2026 test at 114,484 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car has transitioned from recurring failures in previous years to a result with no recorded defects. This shift from failing two initial tests to achieving a clean sheet suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to ensure the vehicle meets minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 98,225 miles and the January 2025 test at 101,632 miles, the car covered 3,407 miles, indicating a period of lower usage. However, the subsequent interval of 12,852 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 shows a return to more typical annual driving distances. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, although the specific mechanical reasons for those failures are not detailed in the provided summary. Given the age of this Ford C-Max, it is essential to inspect for corrosion on the structural sills and rear pans, which are common on this model. Additionally check the condition of the suspension bushes and brake components for wear, as these components frequently show degradation on vehicles with this mileage despite consistent annual testing.
