2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · MD16 RCX

The Ford C-Max demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a successful pass on 17 February 2026 at 90,084 miles. While the vehicle failed its initial test eight days prior to this pass, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor non-mechanical issues rather than systemic component failure. The absence of long-term advisories or recurring mechanical faults indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a consistent standard, with no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 90,084 over a ten-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. Annual accumulation remained relatively steady until the 2024 to 2025 period, where the vehicle covered approximately 12,000 miles, followed by a slower rate of roughly 3,500 miles leading up to the most recent test. This history shows no concerning gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that might otherwise suggest accelerated corrosion or perished rubber components. The consistent test intervals reflect an owner who adheres to the annual MOT cycle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables that often escape the scope of a basic MOT. Given the current mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or play, as these components frequently reach the end of their service life at this stage. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns or scoring, and inspect the exhaust system for any signs of surface corrosion or mounting failures. While the MOT history is clean, a visual assessment of the engine bay for fluid leaks and an evaluation of the clutch bite point remain essential to confirm the mechanical health of the drivetrain.
