2010 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · WM59 SDV

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 August 2025 at 109,344 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the current owner has successfully addressed previous issues. While the history shows instances of failure, the transition to consecutive clean passes in the two most recent tests suggests the vehicle is now being maintained to a functional standard for its age. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 7,483 miles, while the subsequent year up to the 2025 test saw an increase of 8,908 miles. This steady usage profile is generally favourable for mechanical components as it prevents the seal degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. The lack of significant gaps between tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left to sit for extended intervals. A buyer should focus on the specific components that caused the failures in August 2023 and 2024, although the records provided do not detail the exact mechanical points of failure. Given the age of the Ford C-Max, a physical inspection must prioritise the structural integrity of the sills and rear subframe, where corrosion is common on this model. Additionally, check the suspension bushes and rubber elements for signs of cracking or tearing, as these are frequent points of wear that affect vehicles exceeding the 100,000-mile mark.
