2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · VA12 CFM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 91,311 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet regulatory standards. While a failure was recorded in November 2024, the immediate pass on the re-test suggests the previous owner addressed the identified faults promptly to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for its age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 79,956 miles and the November 2025 test at 91,311 miles, the vehicle covered 11,355 miles, showing steady use. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age alone. Given the clean records in the latest tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this generation of Ford C-Max. A buyer should examine the suspension for signs of worn control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often perish regardless of low mileage. Checking the brake discs for surface pitting or binding calipers is also prudent, as infrequent use can lead to corrosion on braking surfaces. Finally, inspecting the chassis for structural rust around the sills and wheel arches ensures the integrity has not been compromised despite the clean MOT history.
