Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, following an improving trend in maintenance consistency. The most recent test in February 2026 at 49,922 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous mechanical or safety issues have been successfully rectified. While the history shows failures in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent clean passes suggest the current owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to ensure the meets DVSA safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old Ford C-Max, averaging only approximately 3,840 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car recorded just 3,542 miles, followed by another 3,684 miles in the following year. This low-frequency usage typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals compared to high-mile vehicles, though it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake components seizing due to age and long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the specific defect details are not provided in this summary. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for perished suspension bushes and cracked tyre sidewalls which occur over time regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from hidden rust if stored in damp environments.
