2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · AF16 LFJ

The 2016 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 70,986 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 21 November 2024 at 66,014 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have accumulated across the last two cycles. Recorded mileage sits at 70,986 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,100 miles per year and reflecting typical private-use accumulation. The DVSA log shows a quiet history: 48,994 miles at the June 2022 pass, 52,276 miles by the January 2023 pass, then a jump to 65,958 miles for the failed attempt on 12 November 2024. That test failed with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it nine days later at 66,014 miles. No rapid accumulation or standing-still gaps raise concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The clean record offers no evidence of corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches across the timeline. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard without neglect, though the lack of any advisories across five tests is unusual for a decade-old Ford and warrants verification of underbody structural integrity and tyre condition before purchase.
