2014 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · EX14 ACV

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by the most recent 2025-06-20 MOT at 70,671 miles, which recorded no defects. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent adherence to safety standards. The single 2022-06-17 failure at 58,699 miles was recorded as a pass with no defects, suggesting a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. No recurring faults or escalating issues are apparent in the history, reinforcing the impression of reliable upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 70,671 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 5,889 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern aligns with periods of reduced activity, as seen in the 2022-06-21 test (58,705 miles) followed by a 4,475-mile increase by 2023-06-23 (63,180 miles), then gradual growth to 67,025 miles by 2024-06-25. The sparse data suggests minimal wear on consumables, though prolonged inactivity could affect components like suspension bushes or brake discs. The lack of high-mileage stressors reduces immediate risk but warrants scrutiny of long-term storage effects. A buyer should prioritize inspecting for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress, given the low-mileage profile. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, may require assessment for age-related stiffness or fatigue. Brake systems, though unflagged in tests, should be checked for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, common in vehicles with infrequent use. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are critical for long-term reliability despite the clean MOT record.
