2012 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AV12 NLC

The 2012 Ford C‑Max, recorded at 106,050 miles, passed its most recent MOT on 23 May 2025 with no defects noted, indicating a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 81,380 miles in July 2022 to 106,050 miles by May 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 8,200 miles, exceeding the typical 7,500‑mile yearly usage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle. The interval from July 2023 (89,471 miles) to August 2024 (101,390 miles) shows a rapid accumulation of 11,919 miles over 13 months, suggesting periods of intensive use, while the subsequent nine‑month span added only 4,660 miles, reflecting a more measured pace. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and assess the condition of the structural bodywork for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills. The exhaust system and emission levels should also be verified, as the record shows no prior failures but does not preclude gradual deterioration of these components. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a consistent, defect‑free MOT history and reasonable mileage progression for its age, but a thorough in‑person inspection focusing on suspension integrity, brake performance, and structural corrosion remains essential before purchase.
