2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · AP13 KWU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in July 2025 at 97,197 miles flagged a pitted and scored offside front inner brake disc, which is a recurring issue dating back at least three years. While the car consistently consistently passes its inspections, the frequency of advisories suggests components are only addressed once they approach a failure threshold rather than during scheduled servicing. At 97,197 miles, the Ford C-Max has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 24,000 miles covered between the July 2021 and July 2025 tests. This regular use generally suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to internal corrosion, though the low annual mileage does not negate the aging of rubber-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 test identified worn arm pins and bushes on both the offside and nearside front. Given the history of pitted brake discs and uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 and 2025, a check for persistent alignment issues or sticking calipers is necessary. The offside front lower coolant leak reported in 2022 also warrants a thorough inspection of the hoses and water housing for residual weeping or cracking to ensure the cooling system remains reliable.
