2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · CP16 WNO

This 2016 Ford C-Max has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across the last four consecutive tests, all passing without fail. The most recent inspection on 18 June 2025—just over a year ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns from the record, suggesting consistent compliance with statutory checks. However, the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear; critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers require independent verification, as these are not always flagged until they reach a critical threshold. The recorded mileage of 104,165 miles over approximately ten years—roughly 10,400 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing dates, and the progression from 52,000 miles in July 2023 to 104,165 miles today indicates steady usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. While this pattern suggests regular driving rather than neglect, it also implies that high-wear items like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components may have been replaced multiple times without explicit MOT mention. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear could indicate past neglect, though the MOT record does not reveal such issues. Corrosion around wheel arches, subframe mounts, and exhaust systems should be scrutinised, as these areas are common failure points for vehicles of this era. Additionally, the condition of the exhaust emissions system—particularly the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors—should be checked, as these are often overlooked until they fail an MOT. Finally, the integrity of the drivetrain, including the constant velocity joints and transfer case (if applicable), warrants attention, as these components degrade predictably with mileage.
