2011 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · LD61 ABX

The 2011 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2026-02-10, which recorded a pass at 86,991 miles with no defects. However, the same date includes a failed test with no recorded defects, suggesting a potential data inconsistency or administrative error. Previous tests from 2025 and 2024 also showed passes with no defects, indicating a consistent maintenance pattern. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have met legal standards, though the lack of detailed defect notes limits insight into specific component conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 86,991 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,800 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows regular testing, with intervals of 12 months between 2024 and 2025, and a 12-month gap between 2025 and 2026. The minimal mileage growth between 2025 (81,357 miles) and 2026 (86,991 miles) aligns with the annual average, suggesting the vehicle has not experienced rapid wear. This low usage could preserve components like the engine and transmission but may also lead to issues such as seized brake calipers or degraded suspension bushes if the car has been stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear brakes, as low mileage can mask wear in hydraulic components. Suspension elements, including coil springs and bushes, should be checked for stiffness or cracking due to inactivity. The exhaust system and corrosion-prone areas, such as the underbody and wheel arches, warrant scrutiny, as prolonged storage may accelerate rust. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the absence of detailed defect descriptions means physical verification of these components is essential to confirm their condition.
