2008 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · CE58 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 137,248 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the current owner is addressing necessary MOT items prior to the annual test deadline. While a failure was noted in November 2024, the immediate retest on the same day suggests a minor fault was rectified quickly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 112,252 miles and the November 2025 test at 137,248 miles, the car covered 24,996 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is often preferable for seals and mechanical components than long periods of standing. The lack of large gaps in mileage between annual tests confirms the vehicle has been in active operation throughout the last recorded period. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the components most susceptible to wear at this age and mileage, despite the clean MOT record. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at structural integrity, specifically corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, is essential. The suspension should be checked for perished rubber bushes and leaking shock absorbers, as these often degrade after hundred thousand miles. It is also advisable to inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning or liping, as the MOT record does not explicitly flag these items until they reach a failure threshold.
