2011 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · LM11 ABV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 97,121 miles, indicating a current roadworthy status. However, recurring issues with rear suspension components and tyre wear suggest a stable but not improving trend. The 2025 test flagged slightly worn rear suspension bushes and minor tyre damage, both of which have appeared in prior inspections. While no critical structural failures were recorded, the persistence of these faults implies consistent maintenance challenges rather than a deteriorating condition. The mileage pattern aligns with the vehicle’s age, accumulating approximately 6,475 miles annually since its 2011 registration. MOT records show regular testing intervals with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes, suggesting consistent usage. For instance, the 2024 test at 91,907 miles and the 2025 test at 97,121 miles reflect a steady annual increase. This consistency reduces concerns about neglect or irregular maintenance, though the lack of detailed service history limits deeper analysis of care patterns. Recurring faults in the MOT history highlight specific areas requiring buyer attention. Rear suspension bushes have been noted as worn in multiple tests, including 2025 and 2024, indicating potential long-term wear that could affect handling. Rear tyres have repeatedly shown signs of damage or corrosion, with the 2025 test identifying slight cracking. Brake discs and steering components also feature in past failures, such as excessive free play in the steering rack (2025) and worn discs (2024). These issues suggest a need for thorough inspection of the suspension system, braking assembly, and structural elements like sub-frames, which have shown corrosion in multiple tests. The buyer should prioritize checking these components for signs of wear, corrosion, or mechanical play during a pre-purchase inspection.
