2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · LT08 JZU

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 10 November 2025 at 79,575 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner successfully addressed issues identified in both September 2025 and December 2023 to achieve subsequent passes. The transition from failure to a pass in both instances suggests that the previous owner was responsive to testing requirements and capable of maintaining the vehicle to a legal standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,421 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of stationary use between December 2023 and September 2025, where the car covered only 20 miles in nearly two years. The rapid jump of 43 miles between 2 and 3 September 2025 indicates a return to regular use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion on brake assemblies during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components affected by age rather than just mileage. The MOT history does not specify the nature of the failures in 2023 and 2025, but the recurring need for retests warrants a close look at suspension bushes and seized brake calipers. Given the long intervals of standing time, check the tyres for sidewall cracking and material hardening. Inspect the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and wheel arches, as these are common points of corrosion for vehicles of this era regardless of the distance driven.
