2013 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · WP13 CWT

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward recurring cosmetic and minor electrical neglect. The most recent test in October 2025 at 108,230 miles passed with minor advisories regarding a damaged windscreen and a discoloured rear direction indicator. These issues mirror the defects seen in the October 2024 test, where a registration plate lamp was also failed, suggesting an owner who prioritizes passing the test over addressing peripheral repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between September 2023 (94,402 miles) and October 2025 (108,230 miles), the car covered roughly 14,000 miles, indicating a steady and typical usage rate. There are no significant gaps in the testing that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which generally reduces the risk of rubber components per or brake calipers seizing due to age without movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The September 2022 test at 90,113 miles flagged thin rear brake pads and multiple tyre defects, including a lumpy offside tyre and a nail in the nearside rear. While these are consumables, the recurring nature of minor lighting and indicator faults in recent years suggests the vehicle may suffer from reactive maintenance. The windscreen damage noted in the last two tests should be checked for cracks that may eventually compromise structural integrity or cause a failure if not replaced.
