2018 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · DA67 XML

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglected tyre care. The most recent test on October 10 2025 at 76,331 miles flagged the offside rear tyre as worn to the legal limit with inner edge wear and cracking. While the car passed the inspection, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories suggests the previous owner defers basic consumable replacements until they reach a failure threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2021 and October 2022 where the car covered only 1,320 miles, followed by a significant increase in activity. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle accumulated 44,380 miles over three years. This shift indicates a transition from low-intensity use to much higher annual mileage, which typically places more frequent stress on the suspension components and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The repeated reports of inner edge wear in the 2021, 2024, and 2025 tests indicate a persistent camber issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. You should also inspect the offside rear tyre specifically for sidewall cracking noted in the latest record, as this indicates age-related degradation of the rubber. Since no structural corrosion or brake failures were recorded in the history, the focus should remain on the mechanical wear of the front end and the immediate condition of the remaining tyres.
