2016 FORD C-MAX1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 88,446 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a multi-year trend of clean passes, indicating a consistent level of basic maintenance standards. The absence of advisories in the last three tests suggests that the previous owners addressed minor wear and tear before they could escalate into failures or safety risks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. There is a noticeable gap in records between November 2020 and February 2022, where the car covered only 5,400 miles over fifteen months. Since early 2022, usage has increased to a steady rate of roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles per year. This regular use is generally beneficial for components like brake seals and sensors which can seize or perish during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2019 test at 38,532 miles flagged bald front tyres with excessive inner edge wear. While this issue appears to have been resolved in subsequent tests, it indicates a history of misalignment issues or worn control arm bushes. Given the mileage approaching the 90,000-mile mark, a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is necessary, though the MOT history has not yet flagged structural integrity concerns.
