2013 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YA13 FHD

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 10 September 2025 at 85,168 miles. While the history shows intermittent failures in previous years, the trend indicates that the owner is actively addressing necessary repairs to achieve subsequent passes. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent test suggests that the mechanical and structural components inspected by the tester are currently meeting minimum DVSA standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,550 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 3,957 miles, while it added an additional 2,094 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This low annual accumulation typically limits the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also means that age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown may be more significant than mechanical mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in September 2023 and 2024, although the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical faults for those dates. Given the age of the vehicle, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, which often occurs regardless of low mileage. Additionally, verify the condition of suspension bushes and brake lines, as these are common points of failure on the Ford C-Max of this era that can lead to MOT failures if left unmaintained.
