2008 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · HK57 NLE

The 2026-06-18 date establishes the current assessment date, placing the vehicle's MOT record in the immediate future relative to the test dates provided. The most recent failure on 2024-03-20 at 134,445 miles indicates a significant gap between the last successful test and the current date, suggesting a potential lack of recent maintenance or a shift in driving habits that may have exacerbated wear. The maintenance trend is not stable; the vehicle has failed twice on the same date (2023-01-20 and 2023-01-27) at 128,392 and 128,399 miles respectively, with no defects recorded. This pattern of two failures within a short timeframe, coupled with the current failure on a 134,445-mile test, suggests a risk of accelerated wear rather than a gradual decline. The gap between the most recent failure and today is approximately 11 months, which may indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced in a way that prevents wear on critical components like brakes or suspension bushings. The 134,445-mile test on 2024-03-20, which failed, is the most recent failure recorded. Given the vehicle's age of roughly 18 years and 134,445 miles, the mileage is consistent with normal usage, but the failure on this specific date at this mileage level warrants inspection. If the vehicle has been driven heavily since the 2024 test, the structural integrity of the chassis or suspension could be compromised, and the brakes may be approaching their service life. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs at this specific date, as the history of two failures in 2023 points to a need for immediate mechanical assessment rather than a routine check.
