2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · FE16 SZP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 18 September 2025 at 69,042 miles. While the record shows a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage with no recorded defects, the immediate pass suggests an administrative error or a minor rectified issue that was resolved instantly. The history over the last three years indicates that the car consistently meets minimum standards without a trend of recurring mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 59,523 miles and the September 2024 test at 62,362 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,839 miles, showing a significant increase in usage in the following year covering 6,680 miles by September 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus on the specific nature of the failures recorded in 2024 and 2025, as the provided data lacks technical defect descriptions for those entries. Given the lack of advisories in the passing records, a physical inspection should check for surface rust on the subframe and exhaust system which often goes unrecorded until structural failure. The age of the vehicle suggests checking the condition of rubber hoses and the integrity of fluid lines is also prudent, as low-mileage cars can perish through age rather than through mechanical fatigue.
