2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · AB03 YCB

The 2013 Ford C-Max shows a stable, clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 68,235 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with no advisories. The maintenance history indicates consistent statutory testing and no escalating mechanical concerns across the available record. The vehicle has covered roughly 5,249 miles per year, which is low for a 13-year-old car. Mileage rose from 62,849 at the 30 December 2021 test to 68,235 by 19 January 2026, an increase of only 5,386 miles over four years. A gap exists between the 2022-12-29 test at 64,485 miles and the prior 2021-12-30 entry, but annual cadence resumed thereafter. The sparse, fault-free record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low mileage and possible long standing periods can conceal perished suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, or subframe corrosion not visible during a basic emissions and lighting test. The tester recorded no structural or brake defects, yet aged rubber components and hidden rust remain outside the scope of a pass result. Given the faultless history, focus the viewing on tyre sidewall condition, handbrake efficiency after storage, and underside structural integrity. The previous owners appear to have maintained test compliance, but the record alone cannot confirm ongoing mechanical care between annual examinations.
