2017 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · NU17 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record over the last three annual cycles. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 71,753 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety standards. This follows a period of consistent clean passes since 2022, suggesting that previous mechanical and cosmetic issues have been addressed effectively by the current owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable increase of over 9,000 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 9,000-mile interval between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady usage suggests regular driving, which generally helps in maintaining engine seals and brake components by preventing the corrosion or seizing often associated with long periods of standing stationary. A buyer's inspection should focus on the areas that previously triggered failures or advisories. The 2021 failure at 31,641 miles highlighted worn-out front and rear brake pads alongside illegal tyre tread depths, indicating a past lapse in basic consumable maintenance. While the recent tests are clean, a physical check of the remaining pad life and tyre condition remains necessary to ensure wear is even. Additionally, the 2020 failure regarding the windscreen wiper and the 2023 failure for headlamp aim show that minor trim and lighting adjustments require periodic attention. The presence of sill covers and undertrays in the 2020 and 2021 records warrants close attention to the vehicle's lower bodywork. While no structural corrosion has been flagged, the buyer should inspect the sills and mounting points for any emerging rust hidden beneath these plastic covers. Given the clean history of the last three tests, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained in its more recent years.
