2008 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · WH08 AWA

The 2025-09-26 MOT at 133,656 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness, though the tester flagged worn off‑side front tyre and a damaged windscreen. Since the 2018 test with no defects, recurring tyre wear and brake fluctuations have persisted, indicating a stable but not improving maintenance pattern. The vehicle, first recorded at 59,312 miles on 2013‑07‑06, has accumulated 133,656 miles by 2025‑09‑26, averaging 7,425 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 18‑year‑old model. Mileage increments show steady growth, with the largest jump of 5,441 miles between 2018‑10‑10 (117,564) and 2019‑12‑18 (123,005), and a more recent rise of 2,269 miles from the 2024‑10‑08 test (131,387) to the 2025‑09‑26 test. A buyer should examine the rear trailing‑arm rubber bushes, which have shown deterioration since the 2016 test, and verify that the rear service brake continues to operate without excessive fluctuation as noted in 2019‑12‑18 and 2021‑02‑04 entries. Brake pad and disc wear is documented repeatedly, so measuring pad thickness and disc condition is essential, and the persistent 5.2.3 (e) tyre wear warnings suggest checking tread depth on all four wheels. Missing wheel nuts from the 2018 failure and the insecure exhaust reported in 2021 indicate a need to inspect fastener integrity and exhaust mounting. Overall, the car meets current MOT criteria, but the history of recurring tyre, brake, and suspension issues warrants a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that wear has not progressed beyond recorded limits.
