Our Verdict
Approach with caution but this grey 2007 Ford C-MAX could be a usable budget people-carrier if priced correctly. The duplicated MOT failures with no recorded defects are unusual and must be clarified before purchase.
Before committing, ask the seller to explain the two MOT failure entries dated 2024-04-27 and 2025-05-07 which show no defects recorded — this may indicate a system error, a late cancellation, or a retest after initial rejection and should be verified with the DVSA. Confirm the service history is complete given the high mileage of 151,541 miles, as a petrol C-MAX of this age needs regular timing belt and suspension checks. Use the unclear MOT record as leverage to negotiate a lower price reflective of the risk and the vehicle's age.
As a 1798cc petrol vehicle first registered in 2007, this C-MAX will fall into a older road tax band likely costing around £200-£300 per year, with insurance group typically low for the era. Fuel economy from the 1.8 petrol is modest, often 35-40 mpg, so at 151,541 miles annual fuel will be a major cost if used daily. Routine maintenance such as brakes, tyres and belt changes on a high-mileage example adds up, with estimated annual running costs of £1,200-£1,500 including tax, insurance, fuel and upkeep.
Inspect the bodywork and underside of this grey C-MAX for corrosion given its 2007 age and 151,541 miles, as MOT records show no defects but do not confirm structural checks were flagged. Verify the duplicated MOT failures on 2024-04-27 (132,809 and 132,811 miles) and 2025-05-07 (151,541 miles) with no defects — physically check the V5C and any paper MOT certificates to ensure the vehicle is legally cleared. Given the 1.8 petrol engine and high mileage, examine for oil leaks, worn suspension bushes and clutch condition which are common on older Ford compacts but not evidenced in the provided data.
This September 2007 registered Ford C-MAX (MK57ANP) has covered 151,541 miles as of its most recent May 2025 MOT, which is high for an 18-year-old 1.8-litre petrol model. The MOT history shows passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 but with failed entries on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 showing no defects recorded. Without aggregate model reliability data, assessment rests on the individual history which is broadly clean but administratively confusing.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford C-MAX to inform a model-wide assessment.
