2011 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · DA60 GWM

The 2011 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clear pass at the most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 138,797 miles, where the tester logged no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 16 May 2024 at 124,300 miles and again on 16 May 2023 at 112,233 miles. The single failure on 16 May 2024 at 124,300 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the same-day pass confirms the car was roadworthy. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,250 miles per year against the 138,797 total, which is typical for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 106,752 miles in May 2022, 112,233 in May 2023, and 124,300 by May 2024, before a jump to 138,797 by August 2025. That final gap reflects about 14,500 miles in fifteen months, a slight rise over the norm but not extreme. The history is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data in the record. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or failing emissions, yet testers may have missed early-stage wear or the car was presented in good order throughout. Verify the 16 May 2024 failure reason with DVSA to rule out any undocumented rectification. Given the consistent passes and typical mileage, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic upkeep without neglected consumables or deferred mechanical repairs. The lack of recurring problems suggests no worsening trend in suspension or braking systems. Treat the C-Max as a low-risk used purchase on paper, subject to a hands-on check of tyres, wiper blades, and chassis condition before completion.
