2018 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · FP18 KRE

The 2018 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 28,924 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or unresolved defects across its recorded life. Recorded mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The odometer climbed from 10,563 miles at the November 2022 tests to 15,649 miles in October 2023, then 21,840 miles in November 2024, and 28,924 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles per year, confirming light use with no abrupt accumulation. The single failure on 19 November 2022 at 10,563 miles is anomalous as the record lists no defects; the owner retested the next day and passed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean sheet across all tests, the buyer should still verify in person the items a low-mileage, occasionally standing vehicle can hide. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts may show age-related corrosion or perishing rubber despite no MOT flags. Brake discs and calipers warrant inspection for rust binding after long idle periods, and underbody structural integrity should be checked for surface rot. Tyres and wiper blades are consumables absent from the record and likely original or aged by time rather than wear. A pre-purchase check of fluid condition, coolant, and brake lines remains sensible. The history implies a cautious owner who kept the car lightly used and test-compliant, but physical inspection must confirm the paper record.
