2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · EX12 PZW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-15 at 106,921 miles confirmed it passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-03-28 (104,633 miles) and 2024-03-27 (94,668 miles) also showed no issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The 2023-03-27 test recorded a failure but no defects, which may reflect administrative error or a technical anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. Overall, the absence of recurring faults or advisories implies the car has been well-maintained in recent years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,637 miles annually. The gap between the 2024-03-27 and 2025-03-28 tests saw a 9,965-mile increase, which is within normal parameters. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, though the 2023-03-27 failure entry remains unexplained. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, which could indicate either meticulous maintenance or limited diagnostic depth during inspections. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which may not trigger MOT failures but affect ride quality. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, warrants scrutiny, as rust or fatigue could emerge without prior MOT citations. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural soundness.
