2009 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · AK09 TZL

The 2009 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy following a pass at 99,821 miles on 30 January 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test showed no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle failed on 22 January 2026 at 99,799 miles yet the tester logged no defects, and an identical no-defect failure occurred on 30 October 2023 at 91,130 miles. Such clean failures without recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage stands at 99,821 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 5,872 miles per year. The car covered only 1,691 miles between the October 2023 pass and the November 2024 pass at 92,810 miles, then added 7,011 miles to the January 2026 tests. This low annual use implies extended standing periods, which on a Ford of this era typically accelerates rubber perishing in suspension bushes and can promote corrosion on underbody structures despite the absent advisories. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension arms and rear beam for fractured or degraded bushes given the vehicle's low-use profile. Check brake discs and calipers for binding or surface rust after inactivity, and examine exhaust emissions hardware for internal rot. The DVSA record shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the twin no-defect failures warrant confirmation that the V5C and test documentation align before purchase.
