FORD C-MAX2008 · 1.8L Petrol

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failure on 22 January 2026 at 174,221 miles. The maintenance trend appears unstable due to a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, though the lack of specific defect data in the record makes it difficult to determine if these were minor administrative issues or recurring mechanical faults. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,679 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2024 test at 152,001 miles and the January 2025 test at 164,960 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 13,000 miles over the year. A further 9,261 miles were added by the most recent failure in January 2026. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. At 174,221 miles, an 18 year old Ford C-Max is highly susceptible to structural corrosion and worn suspension bushes. The absence of detailed advisory notes in this record is unusual for a high-mileage vehicle and may mask underlying wear on brake discs or coil springs. Verification of the current failure is essential. Because the record shows no specific defects for the January 2026 failure, the buyer should request the full technician report to identify if the car requires urgent mechanical repairs or if the failure relates to a simple consumable. Particular attention should be paid to the exhaust system and engine mounts given the total mileage.
