Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding this Ford
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a test drive that focuses on ride quality and braking performance. The MOT records highlight recurring issues with lower suspension arm bushes; listen for knocking or clunking sounds from the front end when driving over uneven surfaces. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these have been flagged for wear and scoring in previous tests.
Furthermore, ensure you inspect the interior for any signs of neglect, such as the missing clutch pedal rubber noted in multiple MOTs. Given the high mileage, verify if major components like the timing belt have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is not documented in the MOT data.
As a 1.6L diesel, this C-MAX should provide reasonable fuel economy for motorway driving, though it may be less efficient in stop-start urban traffic. You will need to account for annual VED (road tax) costs, which vary based on CO2 emissions for this specific 2015 model.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage. You should budget for potential suspension and brake repairs in the near future, given the recurring advisories in the MOT history. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £1,200–£1,500, factoring in fuel, insurance, tax, and essential maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history identifies persistent wear in the front lower suspension arm bushes, which should be checked for excessive play. Additionally, check the brake discs and pads; the history shows they have been flagged for being worn, pitted, or scored for several years, indicating they may require replacement soon.
Check the tyre condition, specifically the offside front tyre which was noted as worn close to the legal limit in the most recent test. Finally, verify the engine bay for any signs of leaks or low fluid levels, as the 2023 and 2024 MOT records noted instances where coolant and oil levels were at the minimum marks.
This 2015 Ford C-MAX has covered 107,935 miles, which is significantly higher than the average for its age. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with suspension bushes and brake components that have appeared across multiple years. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in November 2025, the presence of ongoing advisories necessitates a thorough mechanical review before purchase.
The Ford C-MAX is a common sight on UK roads, though aggregate data shows that suspension and tyre-related issues are frequent failure points for this model.
