2011 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FG61 AED

The Ford C-Max presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 21 August 2025 at 107,975 miles, showing no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the supplied history remains stable, with the most recent test confirming structural integrity and emissions compliance eleven months before today's review. The earlier failure on 12 August 2025 at identical mileage but with no defects logged preceded the pass by nine days, indicating a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical regression. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2011 registration. The record shows 88,561 miles at the 15 August 2023 pass, rising to 99,954 miles at the 15 August 2024 pass and 107,975 miles at the 2025 tests, equating to roughly 7,200 annual miles. No prolonged gaps or rapid accumulation appear. The two failure entries dated 13 August 2024 (99,952 miles) and 12 August 2025 (107,975 miles) both list no defects and sit days before clean passes at near-matched mileages. Such pattern suggests the previous owner scheduled tests early and encountered administrative fails, not deferred consumable replacement like tyres or wiper blades. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or corrosion, the DVSA data alone implies diligent upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of underside chassis for rust, examine front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for age-related cracking, and verify brake caliper operation. The undocumented fail entries merit a DVSA certificate check to rule out omitted faults such as binding calipers or exhaust leaks not transcribed.
