2015 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · AP15 OPK

The 2015 Ford C-MAX presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 March 2026 at 84,909 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, sitting just over three months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness certification is current and fresh. The record shows no recurring faults, no advisories, and no pattern of deterioration across the entire documented history. This is a well-maintained vehicle from a defect standpoint. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable in the best sense. Between the February 2025 test at 78,444 miles and the March 2026 test at 84,909 miles, the car covered 6,465 miles in roughly thirteen months, which aligns with the lifetime average of approximately 7,719 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps suggesting long periods of inactivity, nor any sudden spikes that would indicate high-intensity use. The 2023 double entry, a fail on 26 April at 68,054 miles followed by a pass two days later at 68,163 miles, shows a minor issue resolved promptly, with no further recurrence. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The C-MAX's rear suspension trailing arm bushes and front lower suspension arms are known wear points on this platform, and the rear brake calipers have a documented tendency to bind or seize on Ford vehicles of this era. Check the inner edges of all four tyres for uneven wear, which would indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues not always caught under MOT load conditions. Inspect the underside of the vehicle, particularly around the rear subframe mounting points and along the sills, for any signs of corrosion that may not yet meet the threshold for a fail but could develop into a structural concern. The exhaust system, including the flexi-joint and catalytic converter mounting brackets, deserves close attention given the vehicle's age. A short test drive should focus on any pulling under braking, clunking from the front suspension over speed bumps, and smooth engagement of the clutch and gearbox across all gears.
