2014 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · PE14 AHC

The Ford C-Max presents a stable maintenance trend with the most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 64,895 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations from February 2024 through February 2025 similarly logged passes with zero advisories. The sole anomaly appears on 2 February 2023 where DVSA data shows both a pass and a fail at 54,139 miles, each with no defects noted, indicating an administrative irregularity rather than a mechanical concern. The vehicle's test history therefore demonstrates consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Mileage progression aligns with a low-use profile for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From the February 2023 reading of 54,139 miles, the odometer advanced to 55,910 by 1 February 2024, then to 60,007 on 3 February 2025, and finally 64,895 on 3 February 2026. Annual increments of roughly 1,800, 4,100 and 4,900 miles confirm gentle accumulation well below national averages. Such restrained coverage suggests either careful private ownership or extended periods of storage, with no abrupt gaps or rapid wear cycles evident in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components prone to deterioration under low-mileage or static conditions. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or exhaust emissions issues, yet standing vehicles often develop binding calipers, flat-spotted tyres and superficial structural rust unseen during a clean MOT. We recommend scrutinising subframe integrity, handbrake operation and tyre sidewall perishing before purchase. The absence of recurrent advisories implies previous owners addressed consumables proactively, but the same-day fail entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no hidden rectification. Given the February 2026 test falls within six months of today's date, the certificate remains current and the mechanical outlook is favourable.
