2018 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · CU18 PPX

This 2018 Ford C-Max has covered 132,947 miles, which averages to roughly 16,618 miles per year. This is relatively high mileage for an eight-year-old vehicle, suggesting heavy or consistent use rather than short trips or long periods of sitting. This level of usage typically accelerates the wear on consumables and suspension components. The MOT history shows a clear and worsening pattern regarding tyre wear and suspension health. While the 2021 test was completely clean, every subsequent MOT has flagged tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Most concerningly, the most recent MOT in January 2024 introduced advisories for worn trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be declining. We have moved from a clean bill of health to recurring tyre issues, and finally to structural suspension component wear. The fact that tyres are consistently being flagged as worn on the edges alongside the recent suspension bush advisories suggests that the rear suspension geometry may be affecting tyre life. Because of the high mileage and the specific advisories recorded, you should not rely solely on the MOT pass.
