2013 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · WN13 UKC

The 2013 Ford C-MAX presents a stable and generally improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 28 August 2025 at 69,059 miles. The most recent test recorded only minor advisories: front brake pads wearing thin, a nearside front tyre approaching the legal limit with edge wear, and a nearside rear child seat preventing a full adult belt inspection. These are routine consumable items rather than structural or mechanical failures. The record shows a clear resolution of the rear tyre perishing and rear brake wear that appeared in 2022 and 2023, suggesting the previous owner addressed those issues promptly. The oil leak noted in October 2023 at 57,584 miles did not reappear as a defect in subsequent tests, indicating it was likely remedied. The mileage pattern tells a story of very light use. Between October 2021 and August 2025, the car covered just 23,177 miles over nearly four years, averaging roughly 5,794 miles annually. The jump from 64,330 miles in August 2024 to 69,059 miles in August 2025 represents 4,729 miles in a single year, which is consistent with the car's overall low-mileage profile. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings. The annual MOT tests have been completed reliably each autumn since at least 2021, with no missed years in the supplied record. This consistency supports the view of a vehicle that has been kept in regular, if light, use rather than left standing for extended periods. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension carefully. In October 2021 at 45,882 miles, the tester flagged a worn offside front inner suspension arm pin or bush. That specific advisory did not recur, but the component was already showing wear at relatively low mileage, and a physical check for play or deterioration remains worthwhile. The rear brake pads and tyres have been recurring items across multiple tests, so examining the condition of the rear braking system and the age of the current rear tyres is advisable. The child seat fitted over the nearside rear belt should be removed to allow a proper inspection of the adult restraint. The overall picture is one of a lightly used vehicle with no serious structural or mechanical red flags in its MOT history. The defects recorded are predominantly consumable wear items that have been managed over time. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake pads and nearside front tyre flagged in the most recent test, as these will likely require attention in the near term.
