2010 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · WM59 SOA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 November 2024 at 138,998 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable roadworthiness status. The only adverse entry in the history is a failure dated 6 October 2021 at 127,411 miles, which surprisingly carried no defect notation; that incident appears isolated and does not indicate a worsening trend. Mileage progression shows roughly 8,700 miles per year over the 16‑year lifespan, a typical rate for a 2010 model. Between the October 2021 test (127,414 miles) and the November 2022 test (128,052 miles) the increase was only 638 miles, suggesting a period of limited use or storage. Subsequent annual gains—6,422 miles to reach 134,474 miles in November 2023 and 4,524 miles to 138,998 miles in November 2024—return to a normal usage pattern. The data set is otherwise clean, with no recurring fault codes across the four successful tests. Although the MOT record is free of recurring issues, a buyer should still inspect key wear items. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, examine brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and assess tyre tread depth and alignment for uneven wear. Look for exhaust bracket corrosion and any signs of body rust, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels, as age can conceal structural degradation not captured by MOT advisories. Verify that the 2021 failure was fully addressed, even though no defects were logged, by reviewing any repair invoices or service logs. Overall, the MOT history reflects a stable, improving maintenance trend with mileage consistent with the vehicle’s age. The single early failure does not suggest a systemic problem, yet a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of high‑stress components and to ensure no latent issues have developed since the last test.
