2014 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · FJ64 RKX

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 10 June 2025 at 47,607 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures during this most recent inspection, mirroring the unblemished results of the preceding four years. This consistent MOT record indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically sound and structurally intact, with no recurring or escalating faults requiring remedial action. The vehicle's usage profile is remarkably low for its twelve-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,700 miles per year. Between the June 2021 test at 32,758 miles and the June 2025 test at 47,607 miles, the odometer advanced by just 14,849 miles over four years. The annual increments remain steady, ranging from 3,178 miles to 4,332 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the recorded history. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though prolonged periods of short-trip driving can sometimes mask underlying issues like exhaust corrosion or binding calipers that only manifest under sustained use. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must account for the specific vulnerabilities of a low-mileage vehicle standing for extended periods. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and date of manufacture, as rubber degrades with age rather than mileage, and verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion that can cause binding. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and examine the underbody and structural seams for any corrosion that might not yet warrant an MOT advisory but could compromise long-term integrity. The exhaust system also warrants a close visual check for rust, particularly around the welds and hangers, given the likelihood of short journeys preventing moisture from evaporating effectively.
