Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available data, though the roadworthiness status is currently outdated. The most recent test on 24 January 2023 at 122,594 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2018, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,811 miles per year. The record shows steady use between 1 August 2018 at 95,128 miles and 24 January 2023 at 122,594 miles. There is a notable gap in testing between December 2020 and January 2022, which may indicate a period of limited use or a lapse in regular certification. A buyer must account for the fact that the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT for over three years as of July 2026. While the historical record is clean, the absence of recent data means the current state of consumables is unknown. You should specifically inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion and the tyres for perishing or cracking caused by standing. Priority should be given to checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components often degrade on older Ford C-Max models regardless of a clean MOT history. Check the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points that may have developed since the last inspection in early 2023.
