FORD C-MAX2015 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that appears stable. The most recent MOT inspection conducted in September 2025 at 86,920 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the car failed a test in 2024 due to a non-functional position lamp and mirror damage, the subsequent clean pass suggests the current owner is reactive to MOT-related safety-critical rectifications. At 11 years old with 86,920 miles, the Ford C-Max averages approximately 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age. The records show consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 13,700 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 22,100 miles in the following year. This regular interval of use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry. The August 2023 test at 64,819 miles flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. Although these did not result in a failure at that time, suspension components are prone to accelerated wear on this model. A physical inspection should specifically check for any play in the arms or audible clunking over bumps, which would indicate the bushes are now nearing replacement. The 2022 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn to the limit suggests potential issues with alignment or basic lack of maintenance in the past. While the most recent test showed no tyre issues, the buyer should verify the remaining tread depth across all tyres and check for uneven wear patterns. The minor mirror damage noted in 2024 should also be inspected to ensure the housing is securely mounted and the glass is not compromised.
