2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AD57 WBF

The 2008 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2024 at 78,001 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean pass sequence since November 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the supplied DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening condition or recurring test failures in the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 78,001 miles against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,333 miles per year. The tester logged 69,829 miles on 4 November 2021, then 72,517 miles on 1 November 2022, 75,018 miles on 7 November 2023, and 78,001 miles on 5 November 2024. Annual accumulation holds near 2,500 to 3,000 miles, confirming consistently low use. A duplicate 1 November 2022 entry shows both a fail and pass at identical 72,517 miles with no defects cited, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Low mileage and clean records suggest light motoring, though standing time can conceal perished rubber components. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or corrosion that low-use vehicles often hide. Examine brake discs for surface rust and check exhaust emissions and structural underbody integrity where moisture may have gathered during idle periods. Given the absence of advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance. Verify service history independently and confirm timing belt interval, as the record alone does not evidence drivetrain upkeep on this 1.6-litre unit.
