2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · CV12 XOD

The 2012 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 28 July 2023 at 150,430 miles, where the tester logged no defects. Prior examinations show no recurring mechanical faults or advisories across the available record, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening condition in the tested periods. Annual mileage averages around 10,745 across its fourteen-year life, which is typical for the age. The record jumps from 115,384 miles at the 15 September 2021 pass to 133,853 miles by 27 September 2022, a near 18,500-mile year, then stays flat at 150,430 by July 2023, implying reduced use in the final eleven months. The September 2022 entry shows both a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, a likely administrative reversal rather than a genuine fault. Given the absence of flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or emissions issues, the history suggests conscientious upkeep by previous owners. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and brake discs, as MOT passes without advisories do not measure component life remaining. Verify the 2022 same-day fail-pass anomaly with DVLA to rule out data error. With the latest test now nearly three years old relative to today's date, a fresh MOT and physical check of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades is prudent before purchase.
