2008 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · LR58 ORK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent pass history. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 October 2025 at 78,597 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. While there was a recorded failure in April 2024, the subsequent re-pass without any advisories suggests that the mechanical issues identified at that time were addressed and rectified by the previous owner. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 78,597 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,366 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with for example, only 5,087 miles driven between April 2024 and October 2025. This low-mileage profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, however, long periods of inactivity or low mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues which are not always captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components most susceptible to age rather than mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, is essential. The buyer should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can perish or fatigue over time regardless of distance travelled. Although the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories in the last three tests, the previous failure in April 2024 warrants a physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly to ensure no new wear is developing.
