2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FN13 UMJ

The 2013 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 126,810 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 13 January 2025 at 115,087 miles confirms the vehicle entered its current certificate period in sound condition. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five available entries. The recorded mileage of 126,810 against a 13-year lifespan equates to roughly 9,755 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 15 December 2022 test at 94,418 miles and the 27 December 2023 test at 103,763 miles shows only 9,345 miles covered, while the jump to 115,087 by January 2025 reflects around 11,300 miles in the following year. A minor anomaly appears in early January 2025 where the car failed on 8 January at 115,078 miles yet passed five days later at 115,087 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a substantive mechanical defect. Given the absence of flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion throughout the record, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to a basic roadworthy standard without neglected consumables surfacing at test. The sparse and clean MOT data limits deeper diagnostic inference, so a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and suspension components given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. Prior to purchase, verify the January 2025 failure reason with DVSA documentation, as the no-defect record is irregular. Check tyre tread depth, wiper function, and exhaust emissions in person, though none were flagged. The C-Max shows no worsening pattern and remains a low-risk used buy on the evidence of its test history alone.
