2017 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · FA66 ATK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 46,234 miles, which resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in March 2025 at 41,949 miles, suggesting that any previous maintenance requirements have been addressed. The maintenance trend appears to be improving or at least stabilizing after a period of consumable wear noted in the previous year. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 5,137 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in distance covered between tests, moving from 28,324 miles in January 2022 to 46,234 miles in March 2026. This pattern suggests regular, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate certain risks associated with stationary vehicles, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The only significant mechanical entries occurred during the March 2024 test at 38,262 miles, where the tester flagged thinning brake pads on both the front and rear axles, alongside worn brake discs. While these were standard consumable items, their simultaneous presence indicates a scheduled service or brake overhaul was likely carried out shortly thereafter to achieve the clean passes seen in 2025 and 2026. A prospective buyer should verify that the brake system was indeed serviced following the 2024 advisories by checking for any signs of uneven pad wear or scoring on the discs. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and check the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for signs of perishing, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from rubber degradation despite low mechanical wear.
