2011 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · BV61 WXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 109,032 miles, this followed a significant failure just three days prior. The record shows a pattern of multiple mechanical failures across the suspension, braking, and exhaust systems that are addressed only upon inspection. The presence of a minor exhaust leak in the most recent pass suggests that while the major structural failures were rectified, the exhaust system is beginning to deteriorate again. At 109,032 miles over approximately 15 years, the Ford C-Max averages about 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with a family vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with roughly 1,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. This low annual mileage suggests the car is not subjected to heavy use, but it also explains the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components such as the perished tyres and split CV boot noted in the 2025 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking assembly. The history shows recurring issues with worn arm bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and a fractured coil spring. The buyer should verify that the repairs made following the August 2025 failure were completed professionally and check for continued oil misting on the rear shocks. The surface corrosion noted on the suspension arms and attachments in 2024 warrants a close look to ensure structural integrity has not progressed beyond surface-level rust.
