2014 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CA14 SFV

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 66,416 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent annual compliance with no worsening mechanical issues across the examined period. Recorded mileage sits at 66,416 miles against an approximate 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,535 miles per year and confirming light use for its age. The records show a steady climb: 41,295 miles in May 2023, 43,732 miles in March 2024, 53,959 miles in March 2025, and 66,416 miles by March 2026. A four-day gap between the 25 March 2024 failure and the 30 March 2024 pass at near-identical mileages (43,725 to 43,732) suggests a minor administrative or retest correction rather than a substantive repair, as no defects were listed on either entry. The clean MOT lineage means no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues were formally flagged for the buyer to chase. Low annual mileage and the absence of advisories imply the previous keeper kept basic statutory upkeep current, though long idle periods common with low-use vehicles can conceal perished rubber components or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a static test. A viewing should still confirm underbody structural integrity for hidden rust, check suspension arms for cracked bushes after standing, and verify brake calipers are free given the car's light running. The DVSA data alone supports purchase confidence, but a physical inspection remains sound practice on any 12-year-old model.
