2018 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · AF18 AFV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 with 143,868 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in the short term. While the car experienced immediate failures in the two previous years, the two most recent tests returned no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that any previous mechanical issues were addressed, and the vehicle is currently operating in a clean mechanical state despite its age. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 18,637 miles, followed by another 17,506 miles in the year leading to the March 2026 test. This consistent high-mileage suggests long-distance motorway driving which typically puts different stress on drivetrain components and suspension compared to city driving. The regularity of the accumulation shows the vehicle has been in constant use without standing for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the high-mileage history accelerates the wear of bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Although the recent records show no defects, the previous failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle has required intervention to meet safety standards before. Inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and check the exhaust system for mounting corrosion. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity is mandatory to ensure that heavy use has not compromised the chassis.
