2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · BX63 VNP

This 2013 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT in November 2025 at 151,396 miles passing without any defects. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests—November 2025, November 2024 (both passes), and December 2022—suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in critical areas, particularly brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. The duplicate entry for November 2024 (one pass, one fail at identical mileage) is likely a clerical error, as no defects were recorded in either, reinforcing the overall clean history. Given the three-year gap between the December 2022 and November 2024 tests, it appears the vehicle may have been off the road or in low-use storage for a period, which could explain the lack of wear-related issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 11,646 miles per year over its lifetime. The 18,564-mile jump between December 2022 (93,320 miles) and November 2024 (112,188 miles) suggests a return to regular use after a period of inactivity, while the subsequent 21,548 miles logged in the following year (reaching 133,844 miles) indicates consistent, moderate driving. The final stretch to 151,396 miles over the last 18 months reflects steady but not excessive mileage, reducing the likelihood of accelerated wear in high-stress components like the gearbox or clutch. The sparse but clean MOT history leaves little to infer about long-term maintenance habits beyond the absence of major neglect. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on consumable items not covered by the MOT, such as tyre condition—particularly sidewalls for cracks or uneven wear—and brake fluid age, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT history shows no issues with suspension components, a thorough inspection of bushings, coil springs, and ball joints is advisable, as these can degrade without immediate visibility. The absence of corrosion advisories in recent tests suggests no active structural concerns, but a check for hidden rust in wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels is prudent, especially if the car has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Given the clean record, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would confirm no deferred maintenance in areas not tested by the MOT.
