2019 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Petrol · SY19 GPV

The 2019 Ford C-MAX presents an exceptionally clean MOT record with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 34,231 miles passed with zero defects, marking three consecutive clean passes since a minor headlamp aim fault was rectified in December 2023. This pattern indicates diligent upkeep and prompt attention to even minor advisories. The mileage accumulation tells a notable story of two distinct usage phases. Between the December 2022 pass at 11,019 miles and the December 2023 test at 16,660 miles, the vehicle covered 5,641 miles in twelve months. However, from December 2023 to December 2025, the mileage jumped from 16,660 to 34,231 miles, an increase of 17,571 miles in just two years. This sharp acceleration suggests a change in ownership or a shift from light local use to regular commuting or long-distance driving. The 2025 test is recent, dated just over six months ago, meaning the current recorded mileage is likely very close to the figure shown. Despite the clean MOT history, the rapid mileage increase in recent years warrants a focused physical inspection. A buyer should examine the front suspension components, particularly the lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar links, for play or deterioration, as these wear faster under sustained motorway use. The braking system deserves close attention; pull the front and rear wheels to check for uneven pad wear, scored discs, or binding calipers that may not manifest as a fault until the next test. Inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, especially the flexi-joint and mounting points, for early corrosion or gas leaks. Finally, check the subframes and inner wing arches for surface rust or structural corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary can develop moisture-related corrosion that MOT tests do not always capture.
