2008 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · AV58 HMX

The 2008 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 29 October 2025 at 218,009 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. The maintenance trend is resolving and consistent, showing no worsening mechanical or structural concerns over the four-year window reviewed. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,112 miles, high for an eighteen-year-old vehicle but evenly distributed across the record. The October 2024 test at 202,064 miles and the October 2023 test at 183,755 miles show about 18,300 miles added per year, with a slight slowdown to 15,945 miles between 2024 and 2025. No gaps exceed thirteen months; the longest interval was the 2021 to 2022 cycle at just under twelve months. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, recording no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any point. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 218,009 miles. The clean MOT history does not exempt an eighteen-year-old Ford from subframe rust or degraded coil springs that a visual test may miss. Drivetrain components including clutch, gearbox, and engine mounts carry elevated wear risk at this mileage despite no tester flags. Check the condition of brake calipers and flexible hoses in person, as binding calipers or perished rubber escape annual assessment if not faulted on the day. Verify service history for timing belt replacement and coolant changes, since high-mileage Ford units fail silently without MOT advisories.
