2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · BK16 UBP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating rather than stable. This assessment is anchored by the most recent test on 2025-07-23, which was conducted at 46,351 miles with a PASSED outcome. However, this record is significantly undercut by a series of failures recorded in 2022, specifically the Front Windscreen washer insufficient liquid and the Rear Brake pad wearing thin. The transition from a clean 2024 and 2023 record to persistent mechanical issues in 2022 indicates a lack of consistent upkeep and a potential history of neglect, suggesting the vehicle may need immediate professional assessment before being sold. The mileage profile presents a notable gap between the vehicle's age and its current operational status. At approximately 46,351 miles, the car is roughly ten years old, which is low for its age class, yet this mileage is accompanied by severe wear indicators. The most critical data point is the 2022 failure where the Front Windscreen washer provided insufficient liquid, a defect that has not been corrected since. This gap in maintenance history, combined with the persistent issues in the 2022 record, suggests that previous owners may have skipped basic upkeep or experienced a period of inactivity that allowed wear to accumulate rapidly. Given the recurring faults including structural defects like cracked rear tyres and worn suspension arms, the vehicle carries a serious mechanical risk. The 2022 record explicitly states that the rear tyre was slightly damaged or perishing, and the front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, both of which require urgent attention. Furthermore, the inspection of the child seat in the central rear area is incomplete, which could compromise the safety of the vehicle. A buyer must inspect the car in person to assess the condition of these components, particularly the brake discs and suspension bushings, as the vehicle's structural integrity may be at risk due to the wear patterns observed in the MOT history.
