2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · EA14 VTU

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 62,591 miles. Every test since December 2021 has returned zero defects, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. This unbroken record of passing without advisories suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that readily meets UK roadworthiness thresholds, with no emerging or worsening mechanical issues evident in the data. The mileage accumulation aligns precisely with the vehicle's age, demonstrating a steady and low average usage of roughly 5,200 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 34,572 miles and the December 2025 test at 62,591 miles, the odometer advanced by 28,019 miles over exactly four years, averaging 7,005 miles annually. This pattern shows no erratic spikes or suspicious gaps, reflecting predictable, light-to-moderate use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage touring. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age and the specific characteristics of low-mileage, older vehicles. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the tyres, as low annual mileage often leads to older rubber that may suffer from perishing or cracking rather than tread wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, as infrequent use can sometimes cause seals to dry out and perish prematurely. Brake discs and calipers require attention too; a car covering short distances may suffer from surface corrosion on the discs or binding calipers due to lack of sustained heat and use. Finally, inspect the exhaust system and underbody for any signs of corrosion that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could indicate exposure to standing water or road salt.
