2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · EO08 CYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification prior to passing. The most recent test conducted in October 2021 at 152,732 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at 152,659 miles. This suggests that minor, easily fixable issues such as bulbs, wipers, or minor adjustments were addressed to meet compliance standards rather than reflecting deep mechanical neglect. Since the last recorded test in October 2021, the vehicle is now nearly five years overdue for an annual inspection, which represents a significant gap in verifying current roadworthiness. At 152,732 miles over 18 years, the car averages approximately 8,485 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a family vehicle of this age. Between March 2019 and October 2020, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles, showing consistent use during that period. However, the lack of data since late 2021 makes it impossible to determine the current mileage or the rate of wear over the last five years. If the vehicle has remained stationary during this interval, there is a heightened risk of rubber degradation, brake fluid contamination, and tyre flat spotting. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT record has lapsed. Given the age and mileage, the tester should check for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, where Ford models of this era often suffer. The suspension system should be examined for worn bushes, and the braking system for signs of binding calipers or thin discs. Because the last pass was so long, a comprehensive diagnostic check of the drivetrain and exhaust emissions system is essential to ensure no significant mechanical failures have developed since the 2021 entry.
