2017 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · EO67 WKC

The 2017 Ford C-Max has maintained a consistently clean MOT record across five successive tests spanning from September 2021 through September 2025, each returning a PASSED status with no defects noted. The 2025-09-19 examination confirmed continued compliance, marking the fifth consecutive successful inspection and indicating stable roadworthiness despite the vehicle's nine-year age. This string of clean results reflects reliable performance under regular servicing intervals and supports a confident assessment of the chassis and powertrain integrity over the past three years. With 19,907 recorded miles on a 2017 model, the vehicle accumulates approximately 2,212 miles annually, a pace that appears moderate given its age and aligns with the regular six-monthly MOT schedule documented in the history. The absence of significant mileage spikes between tests suggests the vehicle has remained in routine use rather than being stored or driven intermittently, though the low total figure does not necessarily correlate with exceptional maintenance. The consistent passing grades across four years prior to the current test demonstrate that the engine, drivetrain, and primary safety systems have not exhibited recurring trouble that would trigger an advisory. Based on the complete MOT history showing no recorded defects, the engine, transmission, and major structural components appear to have been inspected regularly and cleared at each interval. Buyers should nevertheless verify the condition of the suspension bushings and control arm boots during a test drive, as worn elastomers can develop even when the engine passes. Brake disc and caliper health remains within expected parameters given the clean braking system report, though a visual inspection of the brake pipe connections is prudent. The subframe and body panels showed no rust-related warnings in any test, reducing concerns about corrosion affecting ride quality or handling. A practical pre-purchase checklist should include checking for any new fluid leaks around the suspension mounting points, confirming that the parking brake engages firmly and holds when released, and listening for any unusual noises when traversing uneven surfaces which could indicate developing suspension wear. Since the MOT records contain no advising items related to the specific systems flagged in your query—suspension linkages, brake lines, subframe corrosion, or oil leakage—the absence of such flags is itself a positive indicator that these areas have been systematically examined. Nevertheless, conducting a hands-on inspection of the front and rear suspension bushings, brake line routing, and subframe joints will provide added assurance beyond what the official tests captured.
