2010 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Diesel · AP10 FJV

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 with 111,931 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully cleared the issues identified in previous years. While the history shows intermittent failures, the ability to rectify faults and pass subsequent re-tests suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements to bring the car back to legal standards. At 111,931 miles over sixteen years, the Ford C-Max has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 9,700 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2025. This regular interval suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals. The buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024. Although the specific defect details are not listed in this summary, the pattern of failing followed by immediate passing often indicates wear on consumables such as suspension bushes or exhaust components. Given the age and mileage, a close look at the structural integrity around the sills and rear suspension mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion is compromising the chassis. Additionally, checking for binding brake calipers or excessive play in the steering linkage will confirm if the recent MOT passes have addressed underlying mechanical wear.
