2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · MJ14 PFA

The 2014 Ford C-Max presents an exemplary MOT record, demonstrating a completely stable maintenance trend with zero defects recorded across its entire documented history. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 117,521 miles passed without a single advisory, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. This unblemished run of five consecutive clean passes suggests a conscientious approach to preventative maintenance, with no recurring mechanical faults or corrosion issues requiring tester intervention. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, reflecting steady, typical use rather than prolonged standing or excessive short-hop driving. Between the February 2022 test at 63,783 miles and the January 2023 test at 78,895 miles, the vehicle covered 15,112 miles. This settled into a slightly lower but steady rhythm, covering 14,521 miles over the following twelve months, then 12,030 miles to January 2025, and 12,075 miles to the most recent test. The annualized figure of roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles aligns perfectly with regular commuting and mixed driving, placing predictable wear on consumables without suggesting severe neglect or abnormally light use. Despite the pristine paper record, a physical inspection remains essential for a 12-year-old compact MPV at this mileage. Buyers should scrutinize the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as age and mileage can degrade rubber components and weaken springs even when they pass an MOT visual check. The braking system warrants a close look at the disc thickness and pad life, particularly the rear calipers which can bind on Ford models of this era. Tyre condition and manufacturing dates must be verified, as older rubber hardens and loses grip regardless of remaining tread depth. Finally, inspect the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion and check the underbody for any structural rust, ensuring the clean MOT history translates to genuine physical integrity.
