2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · NL13 VMY

The 2013 Ford C-Max shows a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 1 April 2025 at 98,629 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came eight days after a failed attempt on 24 March 2025 at 98,628 miles that listed no defects, indicating the failure likely stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause such as a documentation or lighting check discrepancy rather than a physical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed every annual test from March 2022 through March 2024 with no advisories or defects logged. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 7,587 miles against the vehicle's 13-year life, a typical pattern for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 81,042 miles in March 2022, 89,280 in March 2023, 94,781 in March 2024, and 98,629 by April 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and the sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair across the period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm wear levels. The lack of recorded corrosion or exhaust emission failures is reassuring, but DVSA testers do not strip components, so underlying fatigue in steering joints or subframe rust may sit undetected. The unexplained March 2025 failure with zero defects warrants a check of the original refusal notice and any rectification evidence. Confirm the vehicle has not been subject to repeated short-term ownership churn that might mask intermittent faults between tests.
