2011 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · MT60 PMX

This 2011 Ford C-Max has maintained a consistent roadworthy status over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-11-14 confirming no defects and no advisories—indicating a stable mechanical condition at that point. The absence of recurring failures or major advisories in the past two tests suggests that critical components like brakes, suspension, and exhaust emissions have been reliably managed, though the 2021 advisory on rear axle swivel pin bushes remains a notable outlier. The vehicle’s most recent MOT was conducted just 9 months ago , which is well within the standard 12-month cycle, though it does not account for any potential wear that may have developed since then. The lack of defects in the last two tests implies that any deferred maintenance from 2021 was likely addressed, but the rear suspension’s history warrants closer scrutiny. The recorded mileage of 136,005 miles over 15 years averages 9,067 miles per year , a rate that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, as each MOT was conducted within a 12-month window , suggesting consistent monitoring rather than prolonged neglect. While this average wear rate does not indicate extreme stress on high-mileage components, it does mean that items like brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes are likely nearing their expected service intervals. The steady accumulation of miles also implies that the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, which could have exacerbated corrosion or fluid degradation. Given the 2021 advisory on rear axle swivel pin bushes , a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension components , particularly the condition of the ball joints, bushes, and mounting points for wear or fluid leakage. The offside front driveshaft boot deterioration from 2021—though not repeated—suggests potential for CV joint failure if the boot was not replaced; this should be visually checked for cracks or grease leakage. The brakes , while not flagged in recent tests, should be assessed for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs , especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for structural rust or corrosion , as this is a common failure point on older models, particularly around the suspension mounts and subframe . A thorough check of fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and tyre tread depth —noted as a recurring advisory in earlier tests—will further clarify the vehicle’s current state of care.
