2011 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · YG61 AEV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 1 October 2025 at 206,169 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but was rectified on the same day, suggesting that the owner addresses specific MOT faults only when prompted by the testing process rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded 206,169 miles represent a high usage profile, averaging approximately 13,745 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and heavy use, with 16,000 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 24,361 miles covered in the final year of the record. This high rate of accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of long periods of standing indicates the vehicle has been in regular use, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion but accelerates the natural wear of all mechanical parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and bushings, as the high mileage often leads to perished rubber components and worn dampers. Given the reactive nature of the previous repairs, attention should be paid to signs of binding calipers or thin brake discs, which are likely nearing or have already exceeded their optimal service life. The structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches also requires scrutiny, as high-mileage vehicles of this age are susceptible to surface rust that may not always manifest in a standard MOT until it becomes significant.
