2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CV08 VSX

The 2008 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 88,351 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. The January 2023 entry shows a failed test at 80,029 miles on the same date as a pass at the same mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 88,351 against an 18-year lifespan equates to roughly 4,908 miles per year, marking this vehicle as low-use for its age. Annual increments stay gentle throughout: 80,029 miles in January 2023, 83,605 in January 2024, 87,799 in January 2025, and 88,351 in January 2026. The 552-mile gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is the smallest seen and suggests the car sat largely idle in that period. No rapid accumulation or missing-year gaps appear in the chain. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across four consecutive years implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test and kept corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions within limits. Low standing mileage, however, can mask perished rubber components and trapped moisture in sills or floor structure that a static test may not expose. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe, coil springs, and binding calipers, since the record offers no evidence either way on their current state. Verify the tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for age cracking from disuse, and confirm the duplicated 2023 entry with DVSA to rule out a clerical error before purchase.
