Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a diesel MPV with a consistent recent MOT record. The vehicle has maintained a clean pass history for its most recent three inspections.
When inspecting this 1.5L diesel C-MAX, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been addressed, as is common for this engine size at this mileage. Given the mileage is significantly above the aggregate annual average, check for signs of wear on the clutch and flywheel if it is a manual transmission.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is higher than the statistical average for this model type. Ensure you ask for proof of the work carried out following the MOT failure in December 2023, even though no specific defect was listed in the digital record provided.
The 1499cc diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though running costs will depend heavily on annual mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for motorway use.
Maintenance costs for a Ford of this age typically involve routine servicing and potential wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a maintenance buffer, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a family diesel vehicle.
Pay close attention to the tyres and headlamps, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the Ford C-MAX model aggregate. Check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Given the model's common failure points, inspect the suspension arms and bushings for any signs of play or knocking sounds during a test drive. Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as any potential leaks around the engine bay.
This 2018 Ford C-MAX, finished in grey, has covered 82,978 miles since its first registration in December 2018. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 6,922 per year, the MOT history shows a series of passes without defects recorded since late 2023. The vehicle's history includes one failure in December 2023, which was rectified on the same day.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.5% average MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
