2013 FORD C-MAX1.6L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 January 2026 at 103,811 miles, confirming its roadworthiness status remains stable and compliant. The history shows a clean record of passes over the last four years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard. While the 2025 test initially resulted in a failure, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean pass suggest that any minor issues were addressed promptly without lingering mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 103,811 over thirteen years averages approximately 7,985 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford C-Max of this age. The progression of mileage is steady, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The consistent annual increase in mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle, which is generally favourable for the longevity of the engine and drivetrain. Despite the clean MOT history, prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on this chassis that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they are significantly degraded. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or heavy corrosion, particularly on the inner faces, as these can often be overlooked during routine testing. Ensure the exhaust system remains secure and free from leaks, and verify that the tyres match the load rating requirements for the vehicle. Given the age of the car, a visual check of the underside for surface corrosion on the subframe and sills is prudent to ensure long-term structural integrity.
