2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · YD12 AEJ

The 2012 Ford C-Max remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-19 at 73,260 miles. A consistent pattern of passing tests since 2022-01-14 (52,432 miles) indicates stable maintenance practices. No structural, braking, or emission issues were flagged across the five consecutive annual tests, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained and shows no signs of deteriorating mechanical integrity. The mileage of 73,260 miles at 14 years old equates to approximately 5,233 miles annually, below the typical usage for its age. The MOT records show regular testing every 12 months, with gradual mileage increases between 52,432 and 73,260 miles. No gaps in testing or rapid accumulation suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear. However, low mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect components like suspension bushes or brake calipers if not periodically exercised. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these can degrade without regular use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for rust, a common issue in older models. While the MOT history shows no immediate concerns, these areas warrant attention to confirm the car’s continued reliability.
