2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · SJ13 AAX

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile based on five years of clean MOT results. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 68,123 miles resulted in a pass with zero advisories or defects recorded. This consistent performance across the last five annual tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,240 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 13,322 miles, indicating a pattern of short-distance use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests suggest the car may have sat periodically. However, the lack of recorded advisories indicates that the aging of rubber-based components and fluid degradation has been managed or naturally occurs through time and oxidation regardless of the distance driven. Despite the clean digital record, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. The buyer must check for signs of perished suspension bushes, splitার, and dry tyres, which often fail on low-use vehicles. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface pitting. Verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and sills remains essential to ensure that hidden rust has not gone undetected by the tester during the previous inspections.
