2014 FORD C-MAX1.6L Diesel

This Ford C-Max presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 95,715 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the car covered 23,748 miles, averaging roughly 11,800 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between October 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer rose by 13,111 miles in just ten months. This spike in mileage suggests a period of heavier use, but the vehicle maintained its roadworthiness throughout. The total absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Most cars this old show some evidence of wear in the form of thinning brake pads, worn suspension bushes, or minor corrosion on the underside. The lack of any flagged issues since October 2022 suggests the previous owners were proactive with preventative maintenance or the vehicle has been kept in a sheltered environment. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related wear that does not always trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and inspect the suspension coil springs for hairline fractures. Given the recent increase in mileage, verifying the remaining tread depth on the tyres and checking the service history for recent oil changes will confirm if the mechanical upkeep has kept pace with the increased road use.
