2012 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CA62 AEU

In the 21 November 2025 test at 82,864 miles the Ford C-Max first failed then passed on the same day, both entries showing no defects recorded. This paired anomaly indicates an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical fault, and the pass confirms compliance with roadworthiness standards at that mileage. The maintenance trend stays stable across the record. Back in December 2023 at 72,709 miles and November 2024 at 77,022 miles, the tester logged zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, and exhaust emissions. No escalating faults appear. Mileage progression reflects light use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The December 2023 examination at 72,709 miles preceded the November 2024 tests at 77,020 and 77,022 miles, a rise of roughly 4,300 miles over eleven months. By 21 November 2025 the odometer showed 82,864 miles, adding near 5,800 miles in the following year. The overall average of 5,919 miles per annum sits low for the age, hinting at gentle commuting or prolonged standing. The sparse clean record reveals no gap beyond standard annual cycles and no sudden accumulation stressing drivetrain components. A buyer must still inspect age-sensitive parts that a clear MOT cannot expose. The tester flagged no worn suspension bushes or fractured coil springs, yet fourteen years can crack rubber mounts invisibly. Brake calipers may bind after storage, and brake discs often corrode on unused cars. The buyer should probe structural points around sills and subframes for rust. Tyres demand scrutiny for sidewall perishing despite legal tread. The same-day fail-pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 shows the previous keeper resolved procedural matters swiftly and kept the car mechanically sound.
