2018 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · YF67 WRT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. During the test on 5 February 2026 at 37,434 miles, the car failed due to a structural defect in the offside rear outer tyre and a rear position lamp failure. While it passed immediately following these repairs, the presence of a structural tyre bulge suggests a lack of pre-test inspection or basic visual checks by the previous owner. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 4,679 miles per annum. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with 6,152 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 5,411 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This pattern typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the lighting assemblies, as position lamp failures were flagged in both February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This recurring issue may indicate corroded sockets or poor wiring connections rather than simple bulb failures. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and check that the brake discs are not free from excessive surface pitting, as these elements often age through time rather than distance in low-use vehicles.
