2007 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · BR57 AJR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on December 27, 2023 at 128,297 miles. While the latest result shows no recorded defects, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. The vehicle failed its inspections in both December 2022 and December 2023 only to pass immediately after repairs, suggesting that while the car remains operational, the owner only prioritizes rectifying MOT failures to maintain compliance. At a recorded mileage of 128,297, this 19-year-old C-Max has averaged approximately 6,752 miles per year. This is consistent with a low-use profile, which typically mitigates wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the gap between January 2022 and December 2022 shows the vehicle covered only 2,821 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or light use. Low annual mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to age-related issues such as the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, despite the low distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension system, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and sills. Given the recurring failures in the last two years, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is necessary to ensure no underlying mechanical issues remain hidden. The buyer must also verify the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber and surface rust despite having sufficient tread depth.
