2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · EO13 ABK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 19 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2024, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean record with no advisories or failures listed. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition and that any necessary repairs or consumable replacements have likely been addressed proactively prior to the annual inspections. At approximately 13 years old with 88,657 recorded miles, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,820 miles per year. This represents a moderate and typical usage profile for its age, avoiding the excessive wear associated with high-mileage vehicles while also avoiding the risks of prolonged standing. Mechanically, this suggests the drivetrain and interior should be in reasonable condition, although the vehicle is now at an age where rubber components and seals may begin to degrade due to time rather than distance. Given the absence of recorded defects or advisories, the buyer should focus on age-related physical inspections that may not be captured in a standard MOT. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains legal. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, and the health of the 12V battery should be verified to ensure it is not nearing the end of its operational life. Furthermore, the buyer must verify that calendar-based servicing has been performed regardless of the moderate annual mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the service book to confirm the timing belt and water pump have been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's age or mileage intervals. During a test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, and ensure the gear transitions are smooth. Finally, inspect the engine bay for fluid leaks and confirm that the oil and coolant are clean and at the correct levels.
