2012 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · YP62 LSO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent MOT conducted in December 2023 at 167,346 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2020, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary maintenance requirements effectively. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between December 2020 and December 2023, the car covered 50,249 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect. The failure in December 2021 at 136,884 miles was resolved quickly, the vehicle passing just three days later, which likely points to a minor consumable issue such as a blown bulb or a minor adjustment rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given the high mileage of 167,346 miles, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-frequency wear and tear. While the MOT record shows no recurring structural or braking faults, the age and distance necessitate a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for signs of fatigue. Check for corrosion on the exhaust system and the condition of the brake discs and lines, as these elements are often the first to degrade on high-mileage Ford models despite passing a standard MOT test.
