2015 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EK15 BWN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 115, with a maintenance trend that appears stable or slightly improving, as evidenced by a single failure on the 2025-08-20 test at 60,023 miles. This single incident, occurring after the most recent inspection, suggests that the vehicle has not experienced a pattern of recurring structural or mechanical failures that would indicate a worsening trend, provided the specific faults are addressed. Regarding the mileage context, the 60,023 miles recorded for a 2015 model indicates a period of approximately 11 years of driving or stationary usage, which is consistent with the vehicle's age. While the mileage is relatively low compared to older models, the data shows no obvious gaps in the accumulation of wear, as the test dates fall within the same 2025 timeframe. The absence of significant mileage jumps suggests that the vehicle has been driven relatively evenly or that the mileage reflects normal wear rather than accelerated degradation, though the specific mileage figures remain a baseline for future assessments. Given the specific faults recorded, the buyer must inspect for binding rear brakes and structural integrity of the exhaust system, as these are the components most likely to fail given the failure history. The presence of ply or cords exposed on the nearside and offside front tyres constitutes a critical structural risk that requires immediate professional assessment before road use is permitted. Similarly, the failure on the 2024-08-20 test for exhaust emissions exceeds manufacturer limits necessitates a check of the exhaust system and potential emissions testing to ensure the vehicle meets current safety standards.
