2012 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · MV12 OUH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 21 May 2025 at 63,110 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a positive trend in maintenance compared to previous years. The record shows a clear progression from multiple advisories and a failure in 2022 to a clean pass in the most recent inspection. This suggests that previous mechanical shortcomings have been addressed, resulting in a stable and roadworthy condition as of the last test date. With an average annual usage of approximately 4,500 miles, the vehicle has seen light, consistent use over its fourteen-year lifespan. The mileage accumulation is steady, showing no evidence of prolonged periods of disuse that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The jump from 47,438 miles in May 2022 to 63,110 miles by May 2025 confirms the car is regularly exercised, which is generally preferable to a vehicle that has sat stationary for extended durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously flagged as recurring issues. Although the 2025 test was clean, the history of minor oil leaks and suspension bush wear in 2023 warrants a close look at the engine bay and the underside. Check the condition of the drive shaft gaiters and suspension arms for any signs of fresh grease or play, as these components often show wear on this chassis. Given the history of brake disc scoring and tyre edge wear, verify that the current braking surfaces remain smooth and that the tyres show even tread depth across the full width of the contact patch.
