2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EX14 AEJ

The 2014 Ford C-Max demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-19 at 78,997 miles recording a pass and no defects. Maintenance trends from 2022 to 2025 show consistent compliance, with annual tests passing without issues. A failed MOT on 2023-07-15 at 66,050 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting either a data anomaly or a minor, unresolved concern. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests implies effective corrective action, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm resolution. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,583 miles annually. The 2022-07-19 test at 57,874 miles to 2025-07-19’s 78,997 miles reflects steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes. The 2023-07-15 test at 66,056 miles (pass) and 66,050 miles (fail) likely reflects a duplicate entry or procedural error, as no defects were logged. This clean record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to standard, with no evidence of neglect in critical systems. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, given the car’s age, and check for brake disc wear or caliper binding, which can develop over time. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should be assessed, as salt exposure or poor drainage may affect longevity. While MOT data shows no immediate risks, the 2023 failure—regardless of its cause—highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity and address any unresolved issues.
