2014 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · LM14 XLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 49,900 miles. While it initially failed that same test due to a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp, the immediate rectification suggests the owner is responsive to basic safety failures. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as no major structural defects or recurring mechanical failures have appeared in the record over the last four years of testing. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,900 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,158 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with an increase of 7,373 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, and another 7,063 miles between July 2023 and 2024. This low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows a recurring pattern of thin pads. The tester flagged thin front pads at 35,608 miles in 2023 and both rear pads at 42,671 miles in 2024. This suggests the vehicle is serviced based on wear intervals rather than proactive replacement. Additionally, the advisories for uneven tyre wear and scalloping in 2022 and 2023 indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified physically to ensure the geometry is not causing premature tyre failure.
