2017 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · SG17 ACV

The vehicle maintains a clean and stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of passes in the most recent MOT inspections. The test conducted on 7 February 2026 at 45,824 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is currently in a sound mechanical state. The single failure noted on 1 February 2024 at 32,153 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed later that same day without any recorded defects, suggesting no underlying mechanical instability. The total recorded mileage of 45,824 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 5,092 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a Ford C-Max. This low-mileage profile indicates that the vehicle has likely been used for shorter, sporadic journeys rather than heavy motorway commuting. While this often preserves the drivetrain, prospective buyers should remain mindful that infrequent use can sometimes lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components due to extended periods of inactivity. Given the absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust corrosion, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained by its previous owners. Since the MOT record is exceptionally clean, your physical inspection should focus on standard consumable items that do not always trigger a test failure, such as the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting and the age of the tyres. You should also verify the service history to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in neglected fluid changes, as the engine and transmission still require periodic maintenance regardless of the distance covered.
