2015 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · MV65 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 86,120 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues related to tyre wear have been addressed. This clean pass suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding immediate maintenance requirements compared to the minor compliance failures noted in earlier years. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 15,761 miles in 2018 to the current 86,120 mile reading. There are no significant gaps in usage suggesting long periods of inactivity that typically lead to seal degradation or brake system corrosion. The interval of roughly 9,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests reflects regular annual use, which generally helps in keeping components lubricated through consistent testing. A buyer should focus physical inspection on suspension geometry due to the recurring tyre faults recorded between 2023 and 2024. The tester flagged the nearside front and offside front tyres as worn on the edge in January 2023, followed by an offside rear tyre in January 2024. These specific patterns often point to misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or faulty strut tops. A physical check for uneven tread wear on current tyres is necessary to ensure these underlying mechanical issues were properly rectified. While the MOT history lacks structural corrosion or major mechanical failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at rubber-based components and fluid integrity. Given the low mileage, the buyer should inspect for dry cracking in hoses and bushings which occurs through time rather than distance. The absence of advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in good condition, but the history of uneven wear remains the primary area of concern.
