2010 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · GD10 XAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a recurring pattern of immediate MOT failures. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 168,003 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just one mile prior. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing minor issues immediately to ensure the vehicle remains legal. The lack of advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently performing within acceptable parameters for their age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The record shows 16,990 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 16,264 miles covered between July 2024 and June 2025. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often prevents issues with perished seals or seized brake calipers. The intervals between tests remain regular, providing a reliable data set for the vehicle's mechanical history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components that typically show wear on a Ford C-Max of this era. While the MOT record is clean, the 168,000-mile mark necessitates a close look at the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs. Given the failures immediately prior to passing, verify that any minor items like light bulbs or wiper blades that might have triggered those failures were properly rectified. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the exhaust and sills to ensure no structural rust is developing despite the recent clean MOT results.
