2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · CV12 HHC

The 2012 Ford C-Max presents a stable and sound mechanical history, culminating in a clean pass on 9 April 2025 at 88,815 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome demonstrates a well-maintained vehicle free from recurring mechanical or structural faults. The maintenance trend remains highly positive, showing no deterioration or emerging issues across the documented period. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,344 miles per year, a typical figure for a fourteen-year-old family car. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the mileage advanced by 2,859 miles, followed by a more substantial jump of 12,801 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This recent acceleration suggests a shift from lighter local use to more regular, longer-distance driving. The record shows a minor anomaly on 28 November 2023, where a test was recorded as failed at 75,212 miles despite no defects listed, likely indicating an abandoned or aborted inspection immediately followed by a clean pass on the same day. With no recurring faults flagged in the official record, the buyer should focus on standard age-related wear items typical of a fourteen-year-old multi-purpose vehicle. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, given the 88,815 miles on the chassis. Check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has stood idle during its earlier, lower-mileage years. Examine the exhaust system for leaks and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as corrosion can develop silently despite a clean MOT record. The tyre condition and tread depth also warrant close scrutiny, as uneven wear could indicate latent alignment issues not severe enough to trigger a failure.
