2017 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · JR08 JWR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 3 June 2026 at 80,491 miles which recorded zero defects. This indicates that the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical issues identified in earlier tests. While the history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding minor components, the clean sheet on the two most recent annual tests suggests the vehicle is currently in good mechanical condition and meeting all safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 32,519 miles in January 2020 to over 80,000 miles by mid2026. This regular use suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber degradation of seals and internal engine component wear. The intervals between tests remain consistent, providing a reliable data set for the vehicle's mechanical development over its life. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre management based on historical advisories. The January 2021 test at 39,002 miles flagged low front brake pads and borderline rear wear, indicating a tendency to run components close to their service limits. Similarly, the March 2023 failure at 57,600 miles involved two front tyres worn on the edges, which may point to past alignment issues or worn shocks. A physical inspection should check the current tyres for uneven wear and verify the brake discs for signs of excessive thinning or grooving. The 2025 failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system was resolved before the re-test, but the buyer should verify this system is now operating correctly without false warnings. Since there is no history of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures in the drivetrain, the focus remains on the standard wear and tear of consumable items. The vehicle appears to have been maintained on a faults-as-needed basis rather than a strict preventative preventative service schedule.
