2013 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · FD13 VGP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 May 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating a stable and clean maintenance trend. The failed test on 7 May 2025 at 78,613 miles appears to be an administrative anomaly or a minor discrepancy rectified within two days, as the subsequent pass at 78,615 miles shows no advisory items. This record reflects a high standard of upkeep over the last four years, with every inspection resulting in a clean pass. The recorded mileage of 78,615 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. The progression remains consistent, showing steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway accumulation. The incremental increases between the 2022 test at 63,711 miles and the most recent 2025 test confirm the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally helps prevent the issues associated with prolonged storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that often escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are frequent failure points on the Ford C-Max platform. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a visual check of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyre sidewalls for cracking is prudent given the vehicle’s age. The absence of any structural advisories in the history is encouraging, but a thorough check of the sills and floor pans for any signs of hidden corrosion remains a standard requirement for any vehicle of this vintage.
