2015 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · MJ64 NTG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 88,364 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector noted a non-excessive oil leak. This follows a concerning period in early 2025 where the car failed due to multiple tyre-related defects, indicating that the owner only addresses faults once an MOT failure occurs. The mileage pattern is consistent with an artwork-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of roughly 10,000 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 6,200 miles leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals over time, as evidenced by the appearance of the oil leak in the 2026 record. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay for the source of the oil leak identified in the 2026 test to determine if it is a simple gasket or a more significant seal failure. The recurring failures regarding tyre tread depth and uneven wear in 2024 and 2025 suggest a need to check the wheel alignment and suspension bushes for wear that causes raises tyre degradation. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system, which failed in 2025, should be verified as fully functional to ensure the electronic fault has not returned.
