2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · LL16 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean passing record in its most recent inspection on 18 May 2026 at 33,388 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of resolving minor consumable issues quickly. While the car experienced a failure in May 2025 due to incorrect headlamp aim, the subsequent pass confirms the issue was rectified. The lack of any advisories in the last two years suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,339 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, gradual increase from 5,247 miles in May 2019 to the current 33,388 miles. This low-use pattern is evident in the absence of heavy wear-and-tear items like brake discs or suspension components appearing in the history. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with seals or battery health due to infrequent long-distance driving, though the MOT records do not currently indicate any such mechanical decline. A buyer should focus on the minor consumable items that have appeared sporadically. The May 2023 failure for a missing wheel fixing and a defective wiper blade indicates a slight oversight in pre-MOT checks by a previous owner. The 2022 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential minor wheel alignment issue or uneven tyre wear that should be checked during a physical inspection. Beyond these minor points, the record is remarkably free of structural corrosion, brake binding, or exhaust emissions failures. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise checking the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish from age even when tread depth remains high. The mechanical history suggests a vehicle that has been lightly used and generally well-kept.
