2017 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · ET66 JZD

The 2017 Ford C-Max presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 11 December 2025 at 32,102 miles. Since that last recorded test, the vehicle has covered zero miles according to the DVSA record, indicating it has remained stationary for over seven months. The mechanical trend is highly stable; the car has passed its last four consecutive annual tests without a single defect. The only anomaly in the record is a failed test on 20 December 2022 at 21,634 miles, which notably lists no defects. This typically indicates an aborted test or a failure on an administrative item rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed the retest on the same day at 21,643 miles. At nine years old with 32,102 miles, this C-Max averages just 3,567 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for its age. The mileage progression shows consistent, short-distance use. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 3,362 miles, and between December 2024 and December 2025, it added 3,693 miles. However, the odometer has not moved since the December 2025 test. Prolonged standing can cause its own issues, such as flat-spotted brake discs, perished rubber bushes, and degraded fuel, despite the low overall mileage. With no recurring mechanical faults or advisories recorded, the primary concern shifts from component wear to the effects of prolonged static periods. A buyer should inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and binding calipers, common issues when low-mileage vehicles stand idle. Tyre sidewall cracking and flat spots require close examination, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should be checked for perishing. The engine oil and coolant systems need verification for condition, as infrequent use can cause moisture accumulation and fluid degradation.
