2015 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · PF64 KCN

A pattern of intermittent consumables-related advisories defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 15 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows a history of tyre wear, brake component depletion, and a loose exhaust shield, the absence of any recorded failures across the seven recorded tests suggests a trend of addressing wear items before they reach a point of non-compliance. The progression from multiple brake and tyre advisories in 2019 and 2020 to a clean certificate in the latest inspection indicates a shift towards a more current state of compliance regarding these specific components. The vehicle has covered 83,001 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,546 miles. This usage rate is consistent with typical domestic driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain and major structural components have not been subjected to high-intensity long-distance use, the vehicle has been driven enough to necessitate the periodic replacement of wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, as evidenced by the historical advisory data. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and exhaust assembly during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the 2020 advisories regarding thin brake pads and worn front discs, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking, which can indicate disc warping, or any unusual squealing sounds that may suggest the pads are nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding a loose central rear exhaust shield warrants a visual check of the exhaust mounting points and heat shields to ensure there is no excessive vibration or rattling when the engine is idling or under acceleration. Tyre condition and alignment should also be a primary focus during the evaluation. The historical advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in 2019 and 2021 suggest that alignment issues or uneven tread wear have been present in the past. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic humming or thumping noises from the tyres and check for any steering pull to one side, which could indicate that previous alignment issues have not been fully rectified or that the current set of tyres is experiencing uneven wear.
