2008 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · MW08 NWS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in the January 2026 MOT test conducted at 91,250 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and proactive, as the most recent inspection recorded no defects or advisories. While the history shows instances of mechanical failure, the immediate re-test passes following those failures indicate that the owner is attentive to rectifying identified faults quickly to keep the vehicle legal for the road. At 91,250 miles, this 18-year-old Ford C-Max averages approximately 5,069 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns, with only 1,183 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 2,533 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of low can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion due to inactivity. The recorded failures in January 2024 and January 2025 occurred on the same day as the subsequent passes, indicating specific components that required immediate attention. Since the record does not specify the nature of these faults, a buyer must perform a physical inspection to check common C-Max wear points such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle, close attention should also be paid to structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches, as rust in these areas is common for older Fords regardless of the low annual mileage driven.
