2015 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · DS65 EUF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 67,027 miles passed, it was marked with a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a failure just one month prior in August at 66,986 miles due to an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system. The frequency of these consumable issues suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure. The recorded mileage of 67,027 miles over an 11-year period averages to approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low annual usage. The data shows a significant increase in activity between March 2023 at 45,828 miles and March 2025 at 64,235 miles, covering over 18,000 miles in two years. Despite the low total mileage, the age of the vehicle means rubber components and plastic seals are beginning to degrade due to time rather than distance-related wear. A buyer must specifically inspect the suspension and wheel alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres being worn on the edges across both 2023 and 2025 indicate a persistent geometry issue or worn bushes. The previously deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover noted in 2024 further suggests that rubber components are reaching the end of their service life. Physical verification of the tyre pressure monitoring system is required to ensure the fault flagged in August 2025 was properly rectified and not merely cleared.
