2007 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · YA07 YDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 23 April 2025 at 103,772 miles showed no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a successful pass in April 2024, which rectified a failure recorded just two miles prior on the same day. This trend suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing identifying faults immediately to maintain a roadworthy status. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,462 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of low usage between October 2022 at 102,115 miles and April 2024 at 102,717 miles, where the car covered only 602 miles in 18 months. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine-internal components, long periods of standing or very short-distance use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and the corrosion of brake discs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and lower sills, as older vehicles are prone to hidden rust that may not always manifest until it becomes structural. Given the low annual mileage, check for perished suspension bushes and cracked rubber arm components which fail due to age rather than distance travelled. Additionally, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or surface pitting, as vehicles that sit infrequently often suffer from moisture-related corrosion despite a clean MOT record.
