2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · CU63 FJD

The current roadworthiness status of this Ford C-Max is stable, evidenced by a clean pass on 18 July 2025 at 150,599 miles. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues rectified immediately before the subsequent successful tests. The absence of long-term advisories or recurring mechanical failures over the last three years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, avoiding the pattern of neglect often seen in high-mileage examples of this age. With a total of 150,599 miles accumulated over thirteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,585 miles per annum. This consistent usage profile suggests the car has been used as a daily driver rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is generally preferable for engine seals and battery health. The mileage accumulation has remained steady throughout the recorded history, showing no signs of erratic usage or long gaps in testing that might otherwise indicate periods of abandonment or poor storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the suspension bushings, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs and pads. Given the mileage, the drivetrain and clutch assembly warrant a thorough road test to check for slipping or judder, as these items are nearing the end of their typical service life. While the MOT history is clean, a visual check of the underside for structural corrosion is prudent, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to degradation in areas not fully visible during a standard test.
