2016 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · EO16 BCK

The 2016 Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 confirming no defects at 49,453 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance since 2022, with all prior tests—2025-02-05, 2023-12-14, and 2022-12-07—recording no issues. The latest failure entry on the same date as the pass appears anomalous, as no defects were noted, suggesting a possible administrative error. Overall, the maintenance trend indicates no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,453 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 4,945 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage rate implies either light operational demand or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect fluid longevity, battery health, and component corrosion. Notably, the 2022-12-07 test at 36,153 miles shows a 4,265-mile gap to the 2023-12-14 test, raising questions about storage conditions or seasonal usage patterns. The absence of recurring defects in the record suggests no systemic wear, but the sparse data limits insight into long-term degradation. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as hardened rubber components, fluid leaks, or battery deterioration. While no suspension or braking issues were recorded, the low mileage warrants checking suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness for uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion risks increase with infrequent use. The absence of advisories in the MOT history is reassuring, but physical examination of key systems remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition aligns with its recorded maintenance.
