2017 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · EX67 KLA

The 2025‑07‑10 MOT at 29,537 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the C‑MAX remains roadworthy as of the latest test. The consecutive passes in 2024 and 2025, together with the 2022 pass, show a stable maintenance record with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures. At nine years old, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 3,300 miles per year, a figure well below the average for its age, suggesting limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The mileage increments between tests are modest – from 16,575 miles in August 2022 to 19,871 miles in July 2023, then to 24,443 miles in July 2024 and finally to 29,537 miles in July 2025 – indicating steady, incremental usage rather than sudden high‑kilometre bursts. A buyer should therefore focus on components that typically show wear despite a clean MOT history: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or excessive play, rear brake calipers and discs for binding or corrosion, and the exhaust system for rust or leaks. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee that these items are in optimal condition, especially given the vehicle’s low annual mileage which can allow moisture to accumulate in structural areas. Inspection of the chassis for structural rust, verification of tyre tread depth, and assessment of the timing belt condition are advisable, as the record shows no documented service notes beyond the MOT results. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a reliable maintenance trajectory, but a thorough physical examination is required to confirm the absence of hidden wear in critical safety components.
