2014 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · A7 PKJ

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED status at 52,946 miles, but its MOT history indicates a clear deteriorating trend in braking and suspension components. The most recent test on 2025-09-08 was passed, yet the failure on 2024-09-09 reveals significant wear on the front brake disc, pitted or scored, and inadequate brake pads that are less than 1.5 mm thick. This pattern of failure suggests that the owner has not maintained the brakes or suspension bushings as required, a pattern that is likely to continue unless corrected immediately. The vehicle is also showing signs of structural deterioration, including a cut in the nearside front outer tyre and cracked or perishing rear tyres, which indicate a lack of regular tread replacement and proper tyre care. The mileage accumulation over the past year and a half suggests that the owner has likely accumulated significant wear on consumables and suspension parts without adequate maintenance. The rapid increase in recorded miles from 40,538 to 52,946 miles over the last two years aligns with the known wear on brake discs and windscreen wipers, indicating that the vehicle is approaching the end of its useful life for road use. The lack of a clear gap between the most recent test and the current date means that the vehicle is currently in a state of active degradation, making it a high-risk asset for any buyer. Consequently, a buyer must conduct an on-site inspection immediately to identify and address the specific faults flagged in the MOT record. The inspection should focus on the brake pads and discs, the suspension bushings and alignment, and the condition of the tyres and windscreen wipers. Given the deteriorating trend and the presence of structural issues such as cracked rear tyres, the vehicle is likely to fail safety tests if not repaired. A buyer should consider the cost of immediate maintenance to ensure the vehicle remains legally roadworthy and avoids potential future claims.
