2013 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · DC13 RJC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2026 with 64,515 miles recorded, maintaining a consistent pass record. The mechanical trend shows a recurring pattern of suspension wear, specifically concerning the rear sub-frame bushes. While these items remain within acceptable tolerances for a pass, their repeated appearance in the 2023 and 2026 tests indicates that the rear suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life and will likely require replacement in the near future. The recorded mileage of 64,515 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 5,000 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. Annual testing has been maintained with high regularity, showing no extended periods of inactivity or gaps that might suggest long-term storage issues. The vehicle has seen steady, light usage throughout its life, which typically preserves the drivetrain but can lead to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and suspension bushes due to age rather than high-mileage fatigue. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame bushes and the offside front track rod end, as these were flagged as worn during the latest assessment. The history of tyre-related advisories in 2018 and 2025 suggests that the vehicle may have been prone to alignment issues or inconsistent tyre pressure management in the past. Verify the current condition of the tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this often points to lingering geometry problems. While the chassis and structural integrity appear sound given the clean history of major fails, the rubber bushings and steering joints are the primary areas where maintenance investment will be required shortly.
