2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · BV58 HMH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 30 January 2026, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting that the mechanical condition is currently sound. While the vehicle failed the initial inspection on 29 January 2026, the lack of recorded defects implies that the failure may have been administrative or related to a minor issue rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. This pattern of immediate rectification suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the current keeper. The recorded mileage of 89,157 miles over an eighteen-year lifespan averages approximately 4,950 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data indicates a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,000 miles accumulated between the November 2024 and January 2026 tests. This steady, low-intensity usage often prevents the premature wear associated with high-mileage motorway driving, though it can sometimes lead to issues stemming from prolonged periods of inactivity, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as Ford models of this era are prone to surface corrosion that can escalate if left untreated. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of pitting or corrosion, which often occur when vehicles are driven infrequently. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or degradation, as these components frequently deteriorate due to age rather than distance covered. A thorough check of the exhaust system for signs of rust-related leaks is also recommended to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with future emissions standards.
