2009 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · RX58 NDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 76,018 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding thin front brake pads and tyres reaching the legal wear limit. This contrasts with the clean records from 2022 and 2023, indicating that while the vehicle previously passed, it is now entering a phase where consumable components are requiring immediate replacement. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,018 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,472 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 5,301 miles driven between July 2024 and July 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which may be evidenced by the failed offside front front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2024. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension specifically, as the 2024 failure of the anti-roll bar linkage suggests the potential for perished perished elsewhere across the undercarriage. The 2025 advisories on inner edge tyre wear and thin brake pads suggest an alignment issue or simply a neglect of routine service intervals. You should also verify the windscreen washer system is functional, as this was a previous failure point, and check for structural corrosion on the sills which is common on vehicles of this age regardless of the low mileage.
