2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · AD57 FHR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 February 2023 at 116,530 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained streak of clean tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a standard that avoids the immediate safety failures or recurring faults common in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between February 2019 at 79,497 miles and February 2023 at 116,530 miles, the car covered 37,033 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. The 15,019-mile increase between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows a slight uptick in annual travel compared to previous years, but it remains well within the threshold that would suggest accelerated wear on the drivetrain or high-mileage-specific components. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that annual tests do not always capture. Given the 18-year age, the buyer must check for structural corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points, where Ford models of this era are prone to rust. Inspect the condition of suspension bushes and control arms, as these often perish and crack over time regardless of mileage. Checking the brake discs for pitting or signs of binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the current state of the braking system.
