2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · LT12 OMM

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status based on recent service history indicating a decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 102,005 miles, it failed an inspection just 114 miles prior. This failure at 101,991 miles revealed multiple defects across lighting, tyre condition, and brake component wear. The trend suggests that the current owner is now only performing the minimum repairs required to pass an MOT rather than addressing wearing components before they fail. At 102,005 miles over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family car. The data shows steady mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025, with annual intervals of roughly 5,700 to 6,000 miles. However, the shift from a clean record in 2024 at 98,093 miles to multiple failures in August 2025 indicates a significant lapse in routine mechanical checks during the last twelve months. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres. The record shows recurring thin brake pads and pitted front discs dating back to 2022 and 2025. The 2025 failure specifically noted front brake pads being less than 1.5mm suggests the system is nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the offside front tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing, indicating the rubber is degrading from age despite the relatively low mileage. The buyer should also verify the plate lamp and rear position bulbs, as the vehicle history shows a habit of ignoring minor electrical faults until they cause a failure.
