2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EO63 RJU

The 2013 Ford C-MAX presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 60,423 miles on 18 September 2025. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures on that date, indicating the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness standards at its most recent inspection. A prior failure logged on the same day at 60,422 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting the initial failure was likely an administrative or procedural matter rather than a mechanical fault. The broader pattern across 2023, 2024, and 2025 is consistently clean, with no recurring issues, no structural corrosion flags, and no emissions or braking defects appearing at any point. This is a well-maintained record with no evidence of worsening or unresolved faults. The mileage profile tells a clear story of light, steady use. The vehicle covered just 5,085 miles between the September 2023 test at 51,439 miles and the September 2024 test at 55,338 miles, then added only 5,085 miles again by September 2025 at 60,423 miles. That is roughly 5,000 miles per year over the most recent two years, consistent with the overall lifetime average of approximately 4,648 miles per year. There are no sudden mileage jumps or suspicious gaps that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The annual increments are smooth and predictable, pointing to regular short-to-medium distance driving rather than long motorway hauls or extended storage. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that sit unused for extended periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and deteriorated rubber components such as suspension bushes and drive shaft gaiters. The Ford C-MAX's rear beam bushes and front lower arm bushes are known wear items that may not always trigger an MOT advisory until significantly degraded. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop quickly on a vehicle driven only 5,000 miles per year. Inspect the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and rear silencer, and verify that the tyres have adequate tread depth and even wear across all four corners. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a test drive and independent inspection remain essential before purchase.
