2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · LT12 OMW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on June 8, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the most recent result shows a minor failure just one mile prior at 98,926 miles, due to a non-functional windscreen washer. This defect was rectified immediately to allow for a clean pass, representing a trivial equipment failure that does not indicate deeper mechanical neglect or structural instability. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 78,290 miles and the June 2026 test at 98,927 miles, the car covered over 20,000 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This relatively low annual mileage compared to national averages suggests the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to extreme stress, though age-related rubber degradation often replaces high-mileage wear. A buyer should inspect the physical condition of the tyres in person, as the June 2024 test at 84,076 miles flagged the offside rear tyre for cracking and perishing. Given the low annual mileage, rubber components are more likely to age out rather than wear out from friction. Focus should also be paid to the suspension bushes and chassis for signs of corrosion, as the record does not mention any structural rust or brake issues, which are common failure points for Fords of this era.
