2015 FORD C-MAX1.6L DIESEL

The current roadworthiness status of this Ford C-Max is positive, with the vehicle achieving a clean pass on 26 September 2025 at 72,849 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clear improvement in presentation since the minor administrative failures recorded in October 2023. The absence of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed previous concerns effectively and maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfies current MOT requirements. The vehicle has covered 72,849 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests regular, light-duty operation rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway mileage. The progression of mileage between the 2022 test at 53,778 miles and the 2025 test confirms steady annual usage, which is generally favourable for the longevity of mechanical components like the battery, fuel system, and engine seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the front tyres, as the 2024 MOT record flagged uneven wear on the nearside and offside edges. While the tyres were within legal limits at the time, this pattern often indicates poor wheel alignment or worn suspension geometry components such as track rod ends or lower control arm bushes. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the suspension bushings and checking for any signs of uneven tyre scrub during a test drive is essential. The removal of the rear seats noted in the 2023 test indicates the vehicle may have been used for cargo transport, so inspect the interior floor pan and seat mounting points for any damage or heavy wear. The mechanical history is otherwise clean, but a thorough check of the brake discs for surface corrosion is advisable, as the relatively low annual mileage can sometimes lead to binding calipers or premature disc pitting if the vehicle sits for extended periods between drives.
