2011 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · CE11 FNY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 2025‑08‑27 recorded a pass with zero defects at 110 441 miles, indicating a stable‑to‑improving maintenance trend after a series of earlier failures. The 2024‑09‑03 test had flagged front‑tyre tread depth issues and a rear anti‑roll‑bar linkage pin or bush likely to become detached, but both the subsequent 2024‑09‑05 and 2025‑08‑27 tests show no recorded faults, suggesting those items were rectified and the car has been kept within MOT standards. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 7 363 miles per year over the 15‑year life of the 2011 Ford C‑Max, a pattern that aligns with typical usage for its age. The interval between the last two MOTs is about eleven months, which is a normal testing frequency, and there are no significant gaps in the record that would imply prolonged periods of disuse or rapid wear. Earlier failures in 2022 and 2020 demonstrate past wear on consumables, yet the recent clean test history shows those issues have not re‑occurred. A buyer should inspect the front and rear tyres for tread depth and edge wear, as multiple tests have highlighted tyre‑tread deficiencies. The rear suspension should be examined for a secure anti‑roll‑bar linkage pin and bush, given the 2024 failure. Brake discs and pads merit close scrutiny; the 2022 MOT noted worn, pitted rear discs and the 2016 test recorded thin rear pads, so condition will influence future braking performance. The shock absorbers should be checked for oil mist, and the exhaust heat shields inspected for looseness or damage, as these were recurring advisories. Finally, verify that the engine management lamp is functional and that there are no residual oil‑level or engine‑rattle concerns, reflecting the 2022 failure where the MIL was inoperative and oil was low.
