2016 Ford C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · BW16 AEE

The vehicle is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 31,949 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to May 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a state of good repair. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,195 miles per year. Between 24 May 2023 and 11 November 2024, the odometer moved only 1,236 miles. The most recent interval from November 2024 to October 2025 shows a negligible increase of 27 miles. Such low usage indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary, which often introduces different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components affected by inactivity rather than wear and tear. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, long periods of standing can lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. The failure on 29 May 2024 was resolved within one day, but the lack of specific defect data for that failure makes it impossible to identify the exact cause. Check for signs of fluid leaks and verify the condition of the rubber bushings and belts. Low-mileage cars often suffer from oil sludge or dried-out seals due to infrequent engine cycles. A physical inspection should prioritise the brakes for any binding and the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
