2019 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · TJ67 LAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of neglected consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 78,971 miles passed, the tester flagged both rear tyres as being near the legal tread limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a similar advisory from December 2024 regarding uneven rear tyre wear, indicating that the owner consistently delays addressing tyre issues until they reach critical levels. The recorded mileage of 78,971 miles over seven years represents an average of approximately 11,282 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical family car usage. There is a significant gap in records between April 2023 (52,887 miles) and January 2024 (71,612 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in just nine months. The failure in January 2024 due to front tyres having tread depths below 1.6mm suggests that high-mile driving occurred without basic safety checks during that period. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry to determine the cause of the recurring uneven tyre wear noted in two consecutive tests. Repeatedly worn edges on the tyres often point to worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect alignment that requires professional adjustment. Attention should also be paid to the brake discs for thinning or binding, as the history suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. Given the mileage and age, a physical check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the condition of the rubber components is essential to ensure no hidden degradation has resulted from the periods of heavy use.
