2008 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · CA57 WLG

This 2008 Ford C-Max has covered approximately 96,735 miles, averaging roughly 5,374 miles per year. This is a low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, which often suggests the car has spent significant periods sitting idle. While low mileage can mean less wear on the engine, it frequently leads to issues with seized components, perished rubber, and corrosion due to lack of regular movement. The MOT history shows a concerning lack of testing data since October 2021. With no recorded MOT for nearly five years, the vehicle’s current roadworthiness is completely unknown. This is a major red flag for any buyer, as the car may have been off the road for an extended period, potentially leading to seized brakes, battery failure, or fuel system degradation. Looking at the previous history, there is a recurring pattern of suspension and lighting issues. Earlier tests noted deterioration in suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages, while the most recent test in 2021 flagged misting shock absorbers and a twisted brake hose. These items are common wear-and-tear points that likely require immediate attention after years of inactivity. The trend is difficult to define due to the significant gap in testing.
