2007 Ford C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · YK57 UCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent inspection history. The most recent MOT conducted on 29 October 2025 at 104,013 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure just two miles prior on the same day. This specific failure appears anomalous as no defects were listed, suggesting either an administrative error or a minor sensor-related compliance issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since the February 2023 test, the car has maintained a consistent clean record without any flagged mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,474 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 10,423 miles between February 2023 (85,775 miles) and March 2024 (95,198 miles), followed by a more active period where 8,815 miles were covered between March 2024 and October 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle was used for short trips or sat stationary for periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Prioritize checking the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, and inspect for perished suspension bushes or cracked brake lines. Given the low mileage, the tester should also verify the brake calipers for seizing and the condition of the tyres for dry spotting, ensuring they have not suffered from long periods of low use.
