2017 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · PX17 XLS

The overall roadworthiness of this 2017 FORD C-MAX is currently in a state of stable improvement, as evidenced by the sequential MOT entries from 2025 through 2022. The most recent test on 2025-08-11 was passed within the 33,338-mile limit, indicating that the vehicle remains within the legal operational zone and that the maintenance trend is not deteriorating due to a single major failure. Regarding the mileage accumulation, the vehicle has exhibited a pattern of steady consumption over roughly nine years, averaging approximately 3,704 miles per year. This rate of mileage is consistent with a low-maintenance usage profile, where the car has not accumulated excessive wear on critical components that would typically necessitate a major overhaul. While the mileage is low, the absence of any gaps in the record suggests that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity without the need for rapid, irregular mileage spikes that could indicate underlying wear. Consequently, the buyer should proceed with a detailed inspection of the vehicle's suspension and braking systems, as the MOT records explicitly flag binding rear brakes and thin brake pads. Given the stable trend and low mileage, these issues are likely minor consumable wear rather than structural risks. However, the presence of binding brakes and thin pads warrants immediate attention by the buyer to ensure that the vehicle will not fail a subsequent MOT test, as the history suggests that the brakes have been inspected and maintained on a regular basis.
