2017 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · FN17 FET

The 2017 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 7 March 2026 at 63,218 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean results. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,024 per year against the vehicle's nine-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady yearly accumulation: 38,063 miles in March 2022, 44,724 in March 2023, 49,715 in March 2024, 56,631 in March 2025, and 63,218 in March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across every test means the history is sparse on faults, with no advisories logged for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any point. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent wear on consumables such as brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions components that testers may not flag until they breach limits. Standing periods implied by lower annual use can allow moisture ingress and structural rust to develop unseen. Verify underside structural integrity, check for binding calipers, and confirm tyre tread depth and suspension condition match the recorded low-stress usage. The consistent pass rate suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a clean MOT is not a substitute for a independent mechanical appraisal before purchase.
