2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FN13 ULP

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 13 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle met the required safety standards at that time. While the record shows a recurring pattern of a failed test immediately preceding a pass on the same day during the 2024 and 2025 inspections, these instances lack specific defect codes, suggesting administrative or minor procedural rectifications rather than significant mechanical failures. Accumulating 102,182 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 7,860 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage expectations for a family vehicle of this class. The mileage progression appears consistent across the provided test dates, indicating regular use rather than extended periods of static storage. This steady accumulation often points to a vehicle that has been kept in a functional state, avoiding the specific risks associated with long-term inactivity, such as seized brake components or degraded fuel systems. Despite the clean MOT history, the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude the presence of latent wear common in a vehicle of this age and mileage. A physical inspection should prioritize the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often reach the end of their service life after a decade of road use. Examine the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear, and inspect the underside for any early-stage structural corrosion that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT failure. Confirming the status of the timing belt is also essential, as this is a critical maintenance item that remains outside the scope of the annual MOT test.
