2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FN64 XWS

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2025 at 108,127 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests in February 2024 and February 2023 also achieved passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the recorded history. The odometer sat at 101,890 miles on the failed test of 9 February 2023 and rose to 108,127 miles by March 2025, giving roughly 3,400 miles covered in just over two years. Against a 12-year life and an average of about 9,000 miles per year, the recent accumulation is low and implies lighter use or periods of standing. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass, so the record alone gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure. Two failed tests appear on the same dates as passes, both on 9 February 2023 at 101,890 and 101,892 miles and on 2 and 16 February 2024 at 106,221 and 106,484 miles, yet the tester recorded no defects on either failure. This suggests administrative re-tests or documentation anomalies rather than recurring faults. A buyer should still confirm in person that suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers show no corrosion or binding, since the clean record offers no evidence either way. Given the low recent mileage and absence of flagged items, the C-Max looks to have received at least basic upkeep, but the unexplained fail-with-no-defect entries warrant a check of the physical VOSA test certificates. Inspect underneath for structural rust and verify tyre tread and exhaust emissions before purchase.
