2010 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Diesel · SC59 PDY

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 168,261 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing potential issues before they triggered failures. The absence of recurring faults over the last several years indicates a proactive approach to maintenance rather than a reactive one. At 168,261 miles over 16 years, the Ford C-Max averages approximately 10,500 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK averages for a family vehicle. The data shows consistent usage, with a notable increase of 27,000 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. While there is a gap in records between late 2019 and early 2022, the mileage progression during that period suggests the car remained in regular use rather than sitting, which helps prevent issues like brake seizing or the degradation of rubber components. While the MOT record is clean, a physical inspection should still focus on components subject to high-mileage wear on vehicles of this age. The buyer should examine the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, particularly in rear areas where rust often develops after 150,000 miles. Given the high mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs is essential to ensure there is no excessive play or weeping. Additionally, verifying the thickness of the brake discs and pads would be wise, as the MOT only tests for the functional efficiency of these components.
