2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · LP13 KMZ

The 2026‑01‑27 MOT confirms the 2013 Ford C‑Max is presently roadworthy; the test followed a same‑day failure on the same mileage (133,561 mi) that recorded no defects, indicating the issue was rectified before the pass and no major mechanical faults were logged. The series of tests from 2024‑01‑15 through 2026‑01‑27 shows a consistent pass outcome with no recorded defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. At 13 years the vehicle has accumulated 133,561 mi, averaging about 10,274 mi per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. Mileage increments are modest: a 25‑mile increase between 2024‑01‑15 and 2024‑01‑17, followed by roughly 13,000 mi over the next 11 months and a further 12,000 mi in the subsequent 13 months, demonstrating a steady accumulation rather than rapid spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on components that commonly exhibit wear at this mileage and age: the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, the brake discs and calipers for scoring, binding or uneven wear, and the condition of the structural chassis and wheel‑arch areas for rust that could compromise integrity. The exhaust system and emission controls should also be examined, as the MOT history shows no recorded defects but the vehicle’s age makes corrosion and pipe fatigue likely. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition are consumable items that can be checked quickly, while the overall service history implied by the regular MOT intervals suggests reasonable care, though a physical inspection remains essential to verify the absence of hidden corrosion or suspension fatigue.
