2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FN64 XWL

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 11 July 2025 at 93,195 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no recorded defects across the available history. The owner cleared the test one day after a 10 July 2025 failure logged at 93,180 miles with no defects cited, a pattern repeated when an 8 July 2024 failure at 86,940 miles preceded a 9 July 2024 pass at 86,943 miles. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries with no defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Mileage sits at 93,195 against a 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,766 miles per year and typical for the model age. The gap between the 2 November 2023 test at 83,559 miles and the July 2024 tests shows about 3,400 miles added in eight months, then only 6,252 miles across the following year to July 2025. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and Ford's known susceptibility to chassis rust in this period. The absence of flagged binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions failures in the MOT data implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the twin fail-pass pairs warrant confirmation the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA timeline. Pre-purchase checks should focus on handbrake travel, steering rack play, and tyre sidewall condition not captured by a defect-free sheet. The recurring zero-defect results give no evidence of worsening mechanical risk, but a 12-year-old C-Max merits a ramp inspection of subframe mounts before purchase.
