2014 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · RF63 AEL

The vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 22 January 2026 showing no recorded defects. This represents a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has successfully passed its last three annual inspections without a single advisory notice. The recurring pattern of a fail followed immediately by a pass suggests the initial failures were likely administrative or related to minor, easily rectified issues that did not impact the long-term structural or mechanical integrity of the vehicle. At 108,468 miles over twelve years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage expectations for a family-oriented Ford C-Max. The accumulation of mileage remains consistent, showing steady annual increments of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles between February 2024 and January 2026. This indicates the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, gaskets, and electrical connectors often associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension and braking components, as these items often escape notice during automated testing but are subject to wear at this mileage. Check the coil springs for signs of snapping or corrosion and inspect the brake discs for excessive pitting or uneven wear patterns that might not trigger a failure but could affect performance. While the MOT history is clean, verify the service history for evidence of timing belt replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type that falls outside the scope of an annual inspection.
