2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FN58 EEP

The 2008 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 April 2026 at 105,788 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing a clean pass in April 2026 after two prior years of first-attempt failures that were subsequently cleared on the same or next day with no listed defects. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the data. Recorded mileage sits at 105,788 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,877 miles per year, which is low for the age. The odometer moved from 93,085 on 10 April 2024 to 98,362 by 31 March 2025, then 98,379 on 1 April 2025, and 105,788 by 7 April 2026. The annual accumulation of about 5,300 to 7,400 miles is consistent and light. The sparse three-year record shows no advisories on any pass, implying either careful storage or minimal use rather than neglected high-mileage wear. The April 2025 and April 2026 failures carry no defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than worn tyres, binding calipers, or corrosion. A buyer should still confirm the vehicle has not stood idle for long periods that could degrade suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions components through lack of use. Given the clean advisories and low yearly mileage, focus a physical inspection on tyre sidewall cracking, fluid leaks from aged seals, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The history gives no evidence of serious mechanical risk, but the Ford is now eighteen years old and warrants a hands-on check of steering joints and coil springs before purchase.
