2011 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · ND11 UTV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 1 September 2025 at 78,332 miles. The tester recorded deteriorated CV‑boot condition on both front inner drive‑shaft joints and mild front‑disc scoring, but no failure was issued. Recurring advisory items – front suspension arm pins, rear axle swivel pins and earlier tyre perishing – have appeared each year without escalation, indicating a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening one. Mileage has risen from 22,495 miles in June 2014 to 78,332 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 5,200 miles per year. The increments between tests are modest – for example, 53,270 miles in August 2020 to 59,454 miles in August 2022 – suggesting light use rather than periods of high mileage accumulation. No large gaps or abrupt jumps are evident, reinforcing the impression of a gently driven vehicle. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front CV boots, which have been flagged as severely deteriorated in the latest test, as failure could lead to joint damage. The front brake discs, noted as worn and scored in September 2025, merit visual inspection for depth and surface condition. Tyre health warrants close scrutiny; the 2023 test highlighted cracking on all four tyres, and the 2024 failure cited perishing tyres, so tread depth and sidewall integrity must be confirmed. Suspension arm pins and rear axle swivel bushes, repeatedly recorded as worn since 2018, should be examined for excess play. Rear brake pads, flagged as less than 1.5 mm thick in August 2024, and the rear brake disc, noted as pitted, also require verification. Finally, the slight corrosion on the rear brake hose observed in August 2023 should be checked for any leakage or weakening. No structural rust has been reported, but a visual survey of the chassis and under‑body remains advisable.
