Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage for the vehicle's age. While the most recent MOT is clean, the car has travelled significantly more than the average 2014 registration vehicle.
The primary concern for this specific vehicle is the mileage. At over 100,000 miles, you must verify if major maintenance items, such as the timing belt and water pump, have been replaced according to the Ford schedule. Ask for a full service history to ensure the 108,000+ miles haven't resulted in neglected maintenance.
Given the model's aggregate data showing suspension arms and tyres as common failure points, check during the test drive for any knocks from the front end or uneven tyre wear. Negotiate the price based on the high mileage the car has covered compared to lower-mileage 2014 C-Max examples.
The 998.0cc engine typically sits in a lower tax band and lower insurance group, making it relatively economical for daily commuting. However, high-mileage vehicles often incur more frequent replacement costs for suspension components, brakes, and exhaust parts.
Estimated annual running costs are likely between £1,100 and £1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and a provision for the increased maintenance requirements of a car with over six-figure mileage.
Inspect the front suspension components thoroughly, as aggregate data for this model identifies suspension arms as a frequent reason for MOT failures. Check for signs of perished bushings or worn ball joints, which are common at the 100,000-mile mark.
Review the MOT history specifically for the 2025 failure; although the record shows 'no defects recorded' on the pass, you should confirm what caused the initial failure on that day. Additionally, check the tyre tread depth and consistent wear, as tyre issues are a top failure point for the C-Max across the fleet.
This 2014 Ford C-Max features a 1.0L petrol engine and has covered 108,354 miles, which is roughly double the national annual average for a 12-year-old car. Although the vehicle passed its most recent MOT without defects, the history shows a failure in September 2025 that was rectified immediately to allow for a pass. The car represents a high-mileage MPV option that is nearing significant wear-and-tear intervals.
The Ford C-Max is generally robust, but aggregate data suggests a susceptibility to suspension and headlamp-related issues as they age.
