2007 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · CE57 KTV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 120,995 miles. While the record shows technical failures immediately preceding the passes in recent years, the final inspection resulted in no defects whatsoever. This suggests that any previous issues were likely minor presentation items or consumable wear that were addressed prior to the passing tests. There is no evidence of a worsening mechanical trend or structural degradation across the documented history. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 120,995 miles averages to approximately 6,368 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for an MPV. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 9,181 miles covered between August 2023 and December 2024, and another 9,135 miles covered between December 2024 and January 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which often causes the premature degradation of rubber components, brake seals, and fuel lines in vehicles of this age. A buyer should focus on a physical inspection of components most susceptible to age-related fatigue, despite the clean MOT results. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points is essential. The suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be examined for cracking or leaking, as these often wear without triggering an MOT failure until they become critical. Since the MOT record does not specify the exact reasons for the previous failures, the mechanical state should be verified against the service history to ensure fluid changes and belt replacements have been maintained according to manufacturer intervals.
