2011 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AF61 VDP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on March 6, 2026, at 118,341 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed tests without recorded defects in recent years. While a failure occurred on February 28, 2026, just ten miles prior to the pass, the lack of recorded defects on that specific failure suggests a minor component issue or a lighting bulb issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. At 118,341 miles over fifteen years, the C-Max has averaged approximately 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between October 2023 and March 2025, and another 4,600 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on common wear points for this model despite the clean MOT history. Given the age and mileage, examine the underbody for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, where Ford structures typically show rust. Check the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often perish before they trigger a formal MOT failure. Since the most recent tests showed no advisories, verify the brake discs for any uneven wear or thinning manually to ensure the vehicle is not nearing the end of a component life cycle.
