2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · CY14 JUT

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 41,659 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 41,659 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,472 miles per year. The car shows light, consistent use: 32,935 miles in July 2022, 36,055 in July 2023, 38,667 in July 2024, and 41,659 in July 2025. A single anomaly appears on 22 July 2024 when the tester issued a fail at 38,664 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass the next day at 38,667 miles. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, defect-free record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, which can encourage corrosion and seized components through prolonged standing. The MOT history flags no advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity or tyre condition, so no recurring fault pattern demands targeted investigation. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm underbody corrosion levels and brake binding that static low-mileage use may disguise. The clean test lineage implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, but DVSA tests do not measure wear on items outside the pass-fail criteria.
