2014 FORD C-MAX1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent failure indicates a minor lapse in preventative suspension inspections. The tester flagged a failure at 88,078 miles due to a nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush. This was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed just one mile later, suggesting the owner is responsive to MOT-related repair requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 19,557 miles, showing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage of 88,079 miles suggests less strain on the drivetrain, though low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension components and brake-related seals compared to high-mileage counterparts. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking system, as the 2024 test at 74,522 miles identified front brake discs that were pitted or scored. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the buyer should verify the current thickness and condition of these discs to ensure no excessive corrosion remains. Given the anti-roll bar linkage failure in early 2026, a thorough check of the remaining suspension bushes and linkages is necessary to identify any further play or wear that has not yet triggered a formal failure.
