2015 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SW15 ACU

The 2015 Ford C-Max remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-05-19 at 90,867 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle experienced two consecutive failures in 2025-04-29 (90,861 miles) and 2025-05-16 (90,867 miles), both without recorded defects. These results suggest potential unresolved issues that were later corrected, but the lack of specific fault details limits definitive analysis. The maintenance pattern shows stability in recent tests, though the repeated failures raise questions about underlying mechanical consistency. The vehicle’s mileage of 90,867 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 8,261 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history reveals a gap of 12 months between the 2024-04-08 pass (84,736 miles) and the 2023-04-26 pass (78,206 miles), followed by a rapid 6,131-mile increase in 2025. This suggests a period of intensified use or frequent short trips, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes and brake discs. The absence of defects in most tests indicates no major structural or emission issues, but the 2025 failures imply intermittent minor faults requiring attention. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask gradual degradation. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, which could cause failure symptoms. Corrosion checks are advised, especially in areas prone to road salt, and the exhaust system should be tested for leaks or damage. While the MOT record shows no critical issues, the 2025 failures highlight the need for a hands-on assessment of mechanical components to confirm long-term reliability.
