2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · MK14 XDC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 February 2026 at 88,951 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in February 2025, the immediate re-test just one mile later suggests that the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 9,788 miles, followed by a slightly lower interval of 8,302 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and brake fluids that prevent degradation and corrosion during long-term inactivity. Given the clean records of the three most recent passes, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points inherent to a Ford C-Max of this era. A buyer should check the front suspension arms and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often perish as mileage approaches the 90,000-mile mark. Additionally, examine the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe, as MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a specific threshold of depth. The brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or deep scoring to ensure the recent pass reflects healthy mechanical components.
