2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · SW13 JUX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection on 29 December 2025. Although the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or superficial issue was rectified immediately to pass the retest. Since the March 2022 test, the car has passed annual inspections without any recorded failures, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have maintained a consistent standard over several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 44,780 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 11,000 miles per year. The jump of 19,674 miles between the March 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with this established trend. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps in preventing the types of seal degradation and brake seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT history without recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a high-mileage Ford C-Max. You should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts, as these are common points of wear at 128,000 miles. While the record does not flag structural corrosion, a close check of the rear sills and floor pans is advisable to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last test. Inspecting the brake discs for thinning or pitting is also prudent, as the MOT only confirms functional efficiency of the braking system rather than its remaining life.
