2009 Ford C MAX 1.8L Diesel · LV09 LVC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test on 21 September 2023 at 115,682 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to September 2020, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. Mileage accumulation has been steady and typical for a 2009 model. The car covered 9,534 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, and a further 9,528 miles by September 2023. This consistency indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which generally helps preserve rubber components and prevents brake seizure. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, the lack of any flagged wear items suggests the previous owner may have performed preventative maintenance outside of the MOT cycle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear subframe, as these areas often deteriorate on older Fords without appearing on a pass certificate until they become critical. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these are critical engine components that the MOT test does not evaluate.
