2014 FORD C-MAX1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a history of clean passes. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 102,128 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial light-related issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car has maintained a consistent standard without recurring mechanical advisories over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression of 13,742 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, followed by another 8,760 miles by December 2024. The recent interval of 8,315 miles between the December 2024 test and January 2026 test indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for vehicle components as it prevents the dry rot and seal-related issues associated with cars that sit for long periods. While the record shows no historical faults or advisories, a buyer should still inspect common wear points for this model at this mileage bracket. Focus on the physical condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Given the vehicle has not flagged any brake issues, checking for uneven wear on the discs or the thickness of the pads remains necessary to ensure they have not recently exceeded their service life. A visual inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also advised, as the MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a structural integrity threshold.
