Our Verdict
The 2017 Ford C-Max offers decent value for money but requires careful inspection of tyre condition and maintenance history. Its low mileage and recent MOT passes offset some risks, though recurring tyre issues suggest potential hidden costs.
Prioritise checking the tyre condition and replacement history, as repeated warnings about edge wear and cracking suggest potential neglect. Verify service records for oil changes and suspension maintenance, as diesel engines require strict upkeep. Negotiate the price to account for recurring tyre expenses, and consider a pre-purchase inspection to check for hidden issues like exhaust system corrosion or transmission wear common in older diesels.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.5L engine is moderate, with estimated 35-40 mpg on the motorway. Tax in 2026 would be £155 annually for CO2 emissions above 95g/km. Insurance groups for small diesels typically range from 10-15, costing £500-£700 yearly. Tyre replacements (approx. £100-£150 each) and diesel particulate filter maintenance could add £200-£400 annually. Total estimated running costs: £800-£1,200 per year.
Focus on the front and rear tyres for uneven wear patterns, and check for cracks or bulges in the sidewalls. Inspect the suspension components for wear, as repeated tyre edge damage may indicate alignment issues. Examine the exhaust system for rust or leaks, common in older diesels, and test the diesel particulate filter regeneration process. Review service records for oil change frequency and check the engine management light history.
This 2017 Ford C-Max has a mostly clean MOT history with only minor tyre-related failures in its last three inspections. At 73,482 miles, the mileage is slightly below average for a 9-year-old vehicle, though the diesel engine may incur higher tax costs. No aggregate reliability data is available for the C-Max model, requiring buyers to focus on this vehicle's specific service record.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Ford C-Max model, making it difficult to assess general reliability trends. Buyers should focus on this vehicle's specific maintenance history.
