2011 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · MT61 AAJ

The 2011 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent DVSA test on 10 May 2025 at 94,522 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior examinations show consistent clean results. The only anomaly appears in a failure logged on 20 May 2023 at 79,532 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on 21 May 2023 at 79,535 miles. This pattern indicates an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical deficiency, and the overall maintenance record reflects resolving or non-existent fault conditions. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 75,644 miles at the 13 September 2022 test, rose to 79,535 miles by 21 May 2023, then 85,538 miles on 11 May 2024, and 94,522 miles on 10 May 2025. That equates to roughly 5,800, 6,000 and 8,900 miles per intervening year, averaging near the 6,300 miles per annum expectation. The record shows no prolonged dormancy or rapid accumulation that would flag abnormal drivetrain stress, though the sparse five-entry history limits deep trend analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural and mechanical components prone to age-related degradation. Despite the absence of MOT advisories, suspension bushes, coil springs and steering joints on a 2011 model warrant tactile checks for play or cracking. The tester never flagged brake discs or calipers, yet binding calipers and uneven disc wear can develop between tests. Examine underbody and sill sections for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the subframe. The clean pass sheet does not negate the need to verify the anomalous 2023 failure paperwork and confirm the vehicle identity matches the V5C. Previous owners clearly met minimum test standards, but no recorded advisories suggests either diligent rectification or cursory examination. Inspect exhaust emissions hardware for rust, and confirm tyre tread depths and sidewall condition independently before purchase.
