2010 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · CY60 LFN

The 2010 Ford C-Max remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 at 217,485 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as the vehicle has passed all tests since 2023-03-02, including the 2024-03-18 test following a failed inspection on 2024-02-05. While the failed test at 192,586 miles had no defects listed, the subsequent pass just 15 miles later suggests any issues were promptly resolved. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 217,485 miles at 16 years old equates to approximately 13,593 miles annually, a high figure for its age that implies frequent use. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 12-month interval between the 2023-03-02 test (190,819 miles) and the 2024-02-05 failure (192,586 miles), during which the car gained just 1,767 miles. This slow accumulation suggests periods of inactivity, potentially leading to component stiffness or corrosion. Conversely, the rapid rise from 192,601 miles in 2024-03-18 to 201,503 miles in 2025-02-24—nearly 8,900 miles in 11 months—reflects heavy usage, increasing wear on brakes, suspension, and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of wear consistent with high mileage, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of defects in recent tests does not preclude hidden issues, such as binding calipers or exhaust emissions leaks, which may require a pre-purchase inspection. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or fatigue cracks in the chassis could develop over time. Given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern, a thorough mechanical check is essential to confirm the MOT record aligns with the car’s actual condition.
