2013 FORD C-MAX1.6L Diesel

This Ford C-Max presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 98,387 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a thirteen year old vehicle. Between 6 March 2023 and 27 February 2026, the odometer rose from 80,094 to 98,387 miles, averaging roughly 6,100 miles per year over this period. The consistency of these figures suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber components and prevents battery degradation. The absence of advisories across the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. While the record shows a failure on 7 March 2024, the immediate pass at the same mileage indicates a minor or administrative issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. There are no recorded trends of corrosion, suspension wear, or brake deterioration in the DVSA data. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related wear that MOT testers may overlook if it does not meet a failure threshold. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for hairline cracks. Inspect the brake discs for lip wear and ensure there is no subtle binding in the calipers. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus should be on verifying service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals align with Ford's manufacturer specifications.
