2011 FORD C-MAX2.0L Diesel

The 2011 Ford C-Max has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT on 2025-11-14 at 95,053 miles, which passed with no defects. However, the vehicle experienced two consecutive failures in 2024-10-30 (90,599 miles) and 2023-11-01 (86,913 miles), both without recorded defects. These failures suggest potential issues that were resolved prior to the latest test, though the absence of specific defect details limits definitive analysis. The pattern indicates consistent maintenance efforts, as the car has remained on the road with no prolonged gaps between tests. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,337 miles annually. The interval between the 2023-11-02 test (86,915 miles) and 2024-10-30 test (90,599 miles) shows a 3,684-mile increase over 11 months, which is within normal parameters. No significant anomalies in mileage accumulation are evident, and the vehicle’s MOT history lacks recurring defects that would signal systemic neglect. The clean record of passed tests from 2023 to 2025 suggests the owner prioritized compliance, though the failures warrant scrutiny for unresolved issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, as age and mileage increase rust risk. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, given the car’s 15-year lifespan. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude a manual inspection of brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Additionally, verifying the battery’s condition and electrical systems is prudent, as older vehicles often develop intermittent faults. The MOT history does not indicate structural integrity concerns, but a physical assessment remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s overall mechanical soundness.
