2017 FORD C-MAX1.0L Petrol

The 2017 Ford C-Max presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 5 January 2026 at 93,325 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show the same outcome across five consecutive annual checks, indicating the vehicle has not accumulated any advisories or failures since its first recorded test in March 2022. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 34,580 miles at the 9 March 2022 test, rising to 50,548 miles by 7 March 2023, then 67,331 miles on 8 March 2024, 83,804 miles on 17 March 2025, and 93,325 miles by January 2026. Annual increments average roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles in recent years, slightly above the stated 10,369 miles per year mean but consistent and unbroken. No extended dormancy or abrupt jumps appear in the chronology. The absence of flagged defects across all tests suggests previous owners maintained the car to a standard that avoided statutory rejects and advisories on braking, suspension, emissions, or structural corrosion. A clean MOT ledger does not negate the need for physical inspection. At 93,325 miles, the buyer should scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear for age-related fatigue not yet at test threshold. Examine underside for early corrosion and verify service history for timing belt and fluid intervals. Given the stable record, the C-Max stands as a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint. The tester recorded no binding calipers or exhaust anomalies. A pre-purchase examination by a qualified mechanic remains prudent to confirm component condition beyond the scope of annual statutory testing.
