2016 Ford C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · WV16 AET

The 2016 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 May 2025 at 67,214 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show the same clean result. The single failure on 30 June 2023 at 53,698 miles carries no listed defects, with the vehicle passing the very next day on 1 July 2023, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year. The record shows 49,305 miles at the June 2022 test, rising to 53,698 by July 2023, then 57,271 in May 2024 and 67,214 by May 2025. The final twelve-month period saw the largest annual gain at just under 10,000 miles, but no rapid or irregular jumps appear across the history. The sparse five-entry record contains no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable components despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories across four years suggests either diligent upkeep or that testers did not flag marginal wear, so brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion warrant physical verification. The 2023 same-week fail-pass anomaly deserves a check of the DVSA failure reason code, as the record omits any defect narrative. Given the low annual mileage and fault-free tests, previous owners likely kept the car lightly used with basic servicing. No recurring mechanical risks emerge from the data, but the 67,214-mile odometer means original suspension and braking hardware may now be due for age-related renewal irrespective of test outcomes.
