2007 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Diesel · LR57 ADO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a period of significant mechanical instability. While it passed the test on 23 October 2025 at 102,762 miles with no defects, this followed two immediate failures on the same day and a prior failure just two days earlier at 102,705 miles. This cluster of failures suggests the vehicle suffered from multiple critical issues that required urgent, reactive repairs rather than a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 95,399 miles and the October 2025 test at 102,762 miles, the car covered 7,363 miles in a year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing or low use often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and corrosion on the underbody and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that caused the triple failure in October 2025, as the record provided does not specify the exact faults. Given the age of the Ford C-Max, focus on on structural integrity, specifically the sills and rear wheel arches where corrosion is common on this model. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for signs of binding, as low mileage usage frequently results in seized hardware and uneven pad wear.
