2014 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · BT64 AAK

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 63,651 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from December 2022 to December 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 16 December 2023 at 54,596 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the history. The recorded mileage of 63,651 over roughly twelve years equates to about 5,304 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. The odometer advanced from 52,808 miles at the December 2022 test to 54,596 by December 2023, then to 60,327 in December 2024 and 63,651 in December 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between roughly 1,800 and 5,700 miles, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. Such light use suggests gentle running, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, seals, and brake components without showing in the test record. The clean MOT trail gives no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep or neglected structural care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished history. Low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber, flat-spotted tyres, and lightly corroded brake discs or binding calipers that a pass certificate will not reveal. The absence of any advisory across five tests means the tester saw no wear requiring monitor, but twelve-year-old suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe integrity warrant hands-on checks for age-related degradation. Given the clean record and low annual use, the vehicle shows no recurring fault pattern or worsening trend. The December 2023 fail-with-no-defects remains the only irregularity and carries no mechanical implication. Prospective owners should verify service history and confirm the tyres, wipers, and underbody condition match the mild usage the mileage implies.
