2011 FORD C-MAX1.6L Petrol

The 2011 Ford C-Max presents a clean roadworthiness picture on paper, with the most recent test on 23 October 2023 at 68,285 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. The maintenance trend across the available record is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on the same date at identical mileage appears administrative rather than mechanical, given the concurrent pass and absence of recorded defects. Annual mileage sits low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,552 miles per year against the 68,285 miles recorded. The gap between the 2020 test at 51,389 miles and the 2023 pass at 68,285 miles shows only 16,896 miles added across three years, confirming light use. Sparse testing history from 2020 to 2023 limits insight into intermediate wear, though the clean outcomes at each presented test suggest the previous keeper kept basic statutory checks current. With no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues ever noted, the C-Max shows no recurring fault pattern requiring concern from the record alone. Low standing mileage can still mask perished rubber components or seized calipers not captured in a pass result. A buyer should physically inspect underbody structural integrity for rust, verify tyre sidewall condition, and confirm brake freedom given the vehicle's likely periods of inactivity between tests. The DVSA data implies a conservatively driven, minimally faulted example, but the single-day fail-pass anomaly warrants confirmation the V5C and test certificate align. Independent inspection of drivetrain oil condition and exhaust emissions at cold start remains prudent before purchase.
