Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a diesel compact MPV with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle shows a clean recent history, though buyers should remain mindful of common model-specific wear items.
When inspecting this specific 1.6L diesel C-MAX, focus on the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly, which is vital for this engine size. Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects in the last several years, you should still verify the condition of consumables like brake pads and discs.
Negotiate based on the mileage and the age of the vehicle. Although the record is relatively clean, always ask for evidence of the repairs made following the failed MOT in March 2026, even though no specific defect was listed in the summary provided. Ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to Ford's recommended intervals for this 2013 model.
As a 1560cc diesel, this C-MAX is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, making it a practical choice for families. Maintenance costs should be predictable, but keep an eye on suspension components and tyres, which are statistically common failure points for this model type across the UK.
Based on aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the tyres and suspension arms, as these are frequent causes for MOT failures in similar Ford vehicles. Check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment to avoid common lighting-related failures. Given the diesel engine, listen for any unusual knocking or rattling sounds during a cold start, and check the underside for any signs of excessive corrosion or fluid leaks.
This 2013 blue Ford C-MAX has covered 90,896 miles since its first registration in October 2013. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent test in March 2026 passing without defects. While there was a recorded failure in March 2026 at 90,896 miles, the subsequent pass indicates that any issues identified were rectified immediately.
Aggregate data from over 123,000 vehicles shows a 79.4% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to tyres, suspension, and lighting.
