2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · FN14 YTX

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 77,850 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in August 2024, August 2023, and August 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural issues across the recorded period. The mileage pattern sits at typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,488 miles per year. The record moves from 69,449 miles in August 2022 to 72,509 in August 2023, 75,227 in August 2024, and 77,850 by July 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 2,700 to 3,600 miles with no rapid spikes or standing gaps, and the clean MOT entries across those dates suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current rather than deferring work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record does not capture gradual degradation below failure thresholds. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission advisories across five tests implies sound structural integrity for its age, but damp-prone areas such as sills and subframes warrant a visual check. The same-day fail and pass in July 2025 leaves no outstanding defects, yet confirming the retest reason with the selling garage is sensible before purchase.
