2015 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · DY65 AEN

The 2015 Ford C-Max demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-26 inspection at 39,632 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 39,632 over 11 years suggests minimal usage, though this may also imply periods of inactivity that could affect components like the battery, belts, or suspension. No advisories or failures in the history indicate the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. The mileage progression shows steady annual increases, with 24,949 miles in 2021 rising to 39,632 by 2025. This equates to an average of 3,603 miles per year, significantly below the UK’s typical annual mileage for vehicles of this age. The absence of gaps in the MOT records confirms regular testing, but the low mileage raises questions about potential long-term storage or infrequent use. Components such as the exhaust system, brake discs, and suspension bushes may require closer scrutiny, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion or wear in these areas despite the vehicle’s apparent mechanical integrity. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these can degrade without regular use. The exhaust system should be checked for rust, particularly around joints and under the vehicle, given the low mileage and potential for moisture accumulation. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, even though no issues were flagged in the MOT history. Additionally, the battery and fluid levels may need evaluation, as extended periods of inactivity can lead to degradation. The vehicle’s clean MOT record is reassuring, but these components warrant physical inspection to confirm their condition.
