2008 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · WU08 KMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 15, 2026, at 110,078 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed its most recent test, the recurring presence of corrosion on the rear suspension arms across both the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that structural degradation of the underbody is an ongoing process that will eventually require component replacement. At 110,078 miles over 18 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,115 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, for example, 2,606 miles covered between May 2025 and June 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and mechanical components, though it also means the rubber bushings and metal hardware are subjected to consistent environmental wear and mechanical stress. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly to assess the depth of the corrosion noted on the arms. The 2024 failure at 105,717 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring suggests the suspension system is reaching the end of its life. Furthermore, the history shows a persistent trend of thin brake pads noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating the owner often waited until components neared failure. You should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the minimum limit.
