2007 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · CY57 DWL

The 2007 Ford C-Max shows a current roadworthiness status that is passed but irregular, with the most recent test on 7 February 2024 at 170,705 miles returning a pass on the same day as a failure carrying no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is neither worsening nor improving in mechanical terms, as the record is clean of advisories and defects across every entry, yet the repeated same-day fail-pass pairs in February 2023 and February 2024 suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than rising fault counts. Mileage sits at 170,705 as of the February 2024 test, equating to roughly 8,984 miles per year since first registration, a typical accumulation for a 19-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 165,603 miles on 8 February 2022 to 167,922 on 16 February 2023, then to 170,705 by 7 February 2024, reflecting steady annual use of around 2,800 to 2,800 miles with no gaps or sudden surges. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only three pass results alongside two defect-free failures, so no wear-driven consumable or structural trends are visible in the official history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion despite the clean MOT slate, as the test entries omit advisories that often precede failures on high-mileage Ford chassis. The same-day fail-pass anomalies in 2023 and 2024 warrant confirmation that no suppressed defects exist in DVSA backend notes or retest paperwork. Given the age and 170,705 miles, expect natural degradation of exhaust emissions control and drivetrain mounts not always caught by pass outcomes. The previous keeper maintained statutory testing but left no evidence of proactive component renewal, so assume wear consistent with a lightly used older estate until a workshop verifies otherwise.
