2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · DA62 YLJ

The 2012 Ford C-Max presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 70,237 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clear results across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories have been raised at any stage. Recorded mileage sits at 70,237 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 5,017 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual use: 50,413 miles on 25 January 2022, 56,808 on 30 January 2023, 62,101 on 30 January 2024, 62,468 on 16 May 2024, then 70,237 on 2 May 2025. The gap between January and May 2024 reflects only 367 miles, while the jump to the 2025 test covers 7,769 miles in under a year, the largest single period of accumulation. The record is sparse but wholly clean, with no failures or flagged wear items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low standing mileage, which can mask perished rubber and corroded calipers. Structural integrity beneath sills and subframes warrants a visual check for rust, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of early corrosion. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic statutory test standard with no deferred defects. Low mileage and clean sheets suggest careful local use rather than neglected storage, though pre-purchase checks on consumables remain sensible.
