2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · LG58 VAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 52,142 miles which returned with no defects. Despite a single failure in early 2025, the car has undergone the necessary repairs to maintain a clean pass record in subsequent testing. This trend suggests that the owner is reactive to mechanical requirements once faults are identified rather than allowing minor issues to escalate into major structural failures. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. The data shows a consistent but slow rate of use, with only 5,037 miles covered between September 2022 and January 2024, and another 5,437 miles the following year. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown, which are not always reflected in a defect-free MOT certificate. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish over time or suffer from dry rot despite low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive boots for cracking or perishing which often occurs in vehicles that sit for long periods. Given the age, check the brakes for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequent use can cause surface corrosion. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for hidden rust to ensure that the low usage has not compromised the chassis.
