2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FJ14 UOO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 125,398 miles. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to the failure in November 2024. While the late 2024 test revealed multiple defects regarding braking and lighting, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the identified mechanical issues and consumable wear items thereafter. At 125,398 miles over twelve years, the Ford C-Max averages approximately 10,450 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,600 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,480 miles recorded leading up to the October 2025 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used steadily rather than sitting, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system due to a history of recurring issues. The 2024 record flagged a nearside front binding caliper and 70% worn pads, while previous tests noted thin pads and worn rear discs. Although the latest test passed without defect, you should verify there is no uneven wear or judder that indicates the binding persists. Additionally, the sidewall cracking and damage noted in 2024 indicate a history of rubber degradation, so the current set of tyres must be checked for similar perishing or age-related cracking.
