2017 FORD C-MAX1.5L Diesel

The 2017 Ford C-Max presents a clean roadworthiness position as of the most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 84,410 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination from February 2023 through January 2026 resulting in a pass and no advisories logged. A failed entry on 26 January 2026 at the same mileage sits immediately beside the pass on the same day; the DVSA record shows no defects against that failure, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show 53,490 miles in February 2023, 63,702 in February 2024, 74,937 in January 2025, and 84,410 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, marginally above the 9,379-mile average implied by the total. No standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data, and the sparse but consistent log gives no evidence of neglected intervals between tests. Given the absence of any flagged items across five consecutive tests, the buyer faces low documented risk on consumables and structural items. The tester never raised tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. This suggests previous owners kept the car to a reasonable standard, though a no-advisory pass does not confirm hidden wear beneath the surface. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify the suspension and braking components in person, as MOT passes without advisories offer no measurement of remaining pad thickness or bush condition. Check underneath for early structural rust and confirm the January 2026 failure with no defects was a clerical matter, not a suppressed fault. The clean record justifies confidence, but physical verification remains sound practice at 84,410 miles.
