2007 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EO57 UWP

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent recorded test in July 2022 at 110,789 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure involving multiple safety-critical defects including insecure seating and lighting failures. The lack of MOT data since mid-2022 means the vehicle has not been officially tested for nearly four years, significantly increasing the risk of undetected mechanical degradation or expired safety standards. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 110,789 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. However, the data shows a notable gap of nearly 9,800 miles between July 2020 and July 2021, and another 9,600 miles between July 2021 and 2022. This inconsistent usage, combined with the vehicle's age, often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and the seizing of hydraulic parts despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record from July 2022 flagged corroded rear coil springs and pitted, scored front brake discs, alongside brake pads wearing thin across all axles. Recurring reports of uneven tyre wear on inner edges in 2020 and 2022 suggest persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage in 2021 further indicates the suspension geometry is likely nearing the end of its functional life, requiring a close check for play and structural corrosion in the subframes.
