2012 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YD62 AAX

The 2012 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 74,256 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began with the 5 June 2023 pass at 66,316 miles and the 8 June 2022 pass at 62,488 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or recurring advisories across its documented history. Annual mileage sits low for a fourteen-year-old car. Between June 2022 and June 2025 the odometer advanced only 11,768 miles, an average of roughly 3,900 miles per year against a lifetime mean near 5,300. The records show a tight cluster: a failed test on 10 June 2024 at 70,407 miles was immediately followed by a pass at 70,408 miles the same day, with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. No gaps exceed thirteen months. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low use can permit corrosion to develop on structural members and underbody components without surfacing in an MOT if not yet significant. The clean advisory sheet means no specific worn tyres, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues were flagged by testers. The absence of recorded advisories across five consecutive tests implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though it does not confirm proactive component renewal. Verify service history against the low mileage to confirm cambelt and fluid intervals were met in time rather than by distance.
