2017 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · WP17 ABF

A broadly clean roadworthiness record defines this 2017 Ford C-Max, with all four recorded MOT tests resulting in passes and no advisory items escalating into failure categories. The most recent examination on 15 January 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting the vehicle was presented in sound mechanical condition at that point and reinforcing a pattern of stable compliance. Earlier advisories have been confined to relatively minor wear items such as tyres, brake pads, and lamp condition, none of which point to any systemic structural or mechanical deterioration. Overall, the trend across the testing history is one of consistency rather than degradation, with no recurring component flagged across multiple consecutive tests. The recorded mileage of 107,496 miles over approximately nine years equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 11,944 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a vehicle of this age and segment. The mileage progression between tests is steady, with no evidence of erratic jumps or prolonged standing periods that might raise concerns about seized components, perished rubber, or degraded fluids. This kind of consistent usage generally supports even wear across consumables and drivetrain components, and the lack of long testing gaps suggests the vehicle has remained in regular service rather than being laid up for extended intervals. Mechanically, this usage profile is reassuring and aligns with what one would expect from a well-included family car. The advisories recorded over the vehicle's testing history centre on tyres and brake components, and these are worth scrutinising closely on inspection. Front tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit and on their edges in January 2025, which can indicate either alignment geometry drift or consistent cornering wear patterns rather than simple age-related degradation. A test drive should include attention to any pulling to one side under steady throttle, uneven steering response, or a steering wheel that does not sit centrally, as these can point toward geometry issues that would accelerate future tyre wear. The nearside rear tyre was also flagged for slight damage, cracking or perishing in January 2023, and the offside rear was worn close to the limit in September 2021, together suggesting that the rubber components on this vehicle warrant a thorough visual check for sidewall integrity, tread depth across the full width, and any uneven wear that could signal suspension or geometry concerns. Brake-related advisories include rear brake pads noted as wearing thin in September 2021, and given the current mileage, a prospective buyer should expect that pads and possibly discs will require replacement imminently if not already attended to. On a test drive, listen for any grinding or scraping from the rear corners, and feel for any judder through the pedal or a soft, spongy feel under firm pressure that might indicate worn discs or aged fluid. The minor defect recorded for an offside rear position lamp in July 2023 is unlikely to be a persistent electrical concern, but it is worth confirming all exterior lighting functions correctly, including the multiple light source elements that can fail intermittently. Given the clean structural record and absence of any corrosion advisories, the priorities for a buyer should be focused on the suspension geometry, tyre condition, and braking components, with particular attention to any knocking over uneven surfaces, binding under braking, or uneven tyre wear across an axle.
