2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · MS04 JAC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in May 2026 at 79,331 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 67,860 miles and May 2026 at 79,331 miles, the car covered 11,471 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use which is often beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and brake seizing during long stationary periods. The data shows no significant gaps in the testing intervals, reflecting a consistent inspection schedule. The only noted concern in the recorded history occurred in June 2022 at 67,860 miles, where the tester flagged both rear brake pads as wearing thin. The fact that subsequent tests over the following years showed no further defects indicates these pads were replaced and the system has remained maintained since. A buyer should still verify the current thickness of the rear discs and check for uneven wear or pitting, as these were the only components previously identified requiring attention. Physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Ford C-Max of this era. Given the clean history regarding structural integrity, the primary focus should be checking for surface corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points. Inspecting the suspension bushes and control arm bushings for cracking is also advisable, as low mileage does not prevent the aging of rubber over time. The overall record suggests a well-looked-after vehicle that has not been neglected despite its age.
