FORD C-MAX2011 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT results. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 68,362 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately to ensure compliance. The clean sheets from the tests in 2024 and 2023 indicate that the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical degradation or structural corrosion over the last several years of operation. The recorded mileage is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,557 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 57,122 miles and May 2025 at 68,362 miles, the car covered 11,240 miles over two years. This low usage pattern typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components. However, low-mileage vehicles are prone to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, or potential fluid contamination if the car sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than just distance traveled. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, the age of the Ford C-Max necessitates a check for surface rust on the sills and suspension mounting points. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, it is prudent to verify the specific items that caused those initial failures to ensure they were properly replaced rather than merely adjusted. Checking the condition of the brake discs and tyres is also essential, as low-mileage use can lead to uneven corrosion or rubber rot over time.
