2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SH66 AEU

This Ford C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 96,667 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,667 miles per year. Between 18 August 2023 at 79,987 miles and 11 August 2025 at 96,667 miles, the car covered 16,680 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps maintain seals and battery health. A minor anomaly appears on 17 August 2024 where the vehicle failed and passed within 17 miles, though the record lacks specific defect details for that failure. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of common wear areas for this model. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs or suspension bushes is positive, but at nearly 100,000 miles, these components often require replacement regardless of test outcomes. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and inspect the condition of the tyre treads and shock absorbers. The absence of recurring faults in the DVSA record implies a disciplined approach to basic upkeep. Because the history is devoid of structural warnings or exhaust emission failures, the primary focus for a prospective buyer should be on service history documentation to verify that oil changes and timing belt intervals have been adhered to beyond the scope of the MOT.
