2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · AV12 OML

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent MOT test conducted on June 5, 2025 at 169,808 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from failures in 2023 and 2024 to a clean pass suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once flagged by the tester. At 169,808 miles, this fourteen-year-old Ford C-Max has averaged approximately 12,129 miles per year. This high mileage reflects consistent use which places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 11,000 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 9,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This regular usage pattern generally suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than suffering from long periods of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear of bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. While the recent pass is clean, the previous failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle is prone to requiring attention in these areas. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common points of failure for Ford models of this era that may not appear until rust becomes significant.
