2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · LD62 HFT

The 2012 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 85,217 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 9 September 2024 at 78,020 miles shows the vehicle entered its current cycle in sound condition. The history reveals no advisories or mechanical faults across the five recorded tests, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 85,217 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 6,087 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model. The odometer advanced from 61,316 miles in September 2022 to 70,143 in September 2023, then to 78,017 at the September 2024 failure and 78,020 at the same-day pass, reaching 85,217 by July 2025. The sparse but clean record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps; the only anomaly is the 9 September 2024 failure at 78,017 miles with no defects listed, corrected by a retest hours later at 78,020 miles, which suggests an administrative or identification error rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data in the record. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of recurring wear trends, yet fourteen years of service can conceal degraded rubber components or surface structural rust not captured by the tester. Verify the brake calipers operate free of binding and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. The lack of flagged consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades across the record implies previous owners addressed minor items outside the test regime. Given the uneventful history, the C-Max stands as a low-risk purchase subject to standard pre-sale mechanical verification.
