FORD C-MAX2010 · 1.8L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 30 August 2023 at 130,744 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests, indicating that the car has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 8,172 miles per year. Between 17 September 2021 and 30 August 2023, the odometer rose from 121,621 to 130,744 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,500 miles per annum over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or prolonged stagnation. A buyer should remain cautious as the MOT record is now nearly three years out of date relative to July 2026. The absence of recorded defects in previous tests is positive, but the long gap since the August 2023 inspection means the current mechanical state is unknown. A physical inspection must prioritise the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as these are common failure points for Ford C-Max models of this era. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for surface rust or pitting caused by inactivity. Inspect the tyres for perishing or sidewall cracking if the vehicle has been stationary since 2023. Given the age and mileage, a technician should verify the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these consumables often degrade regardless of a clean MOT history.
