Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage diesel MPV. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing no recorded defects over the last five years of testing.
Given the low mileage for a 2.0L diesel engine, ensure that the vehicle has been used for more than just short city trips to prevent issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). While the MOT history shows no failures, you should still request a documented service history to confirm that oil changes have been performed according to Ford's intervals.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of recent maintenance on consumables. Although this specific car has had no MOT failures, the model aggregate data suggests that tyres and suspension components are common failure points for the C-MAX across the wider fleet. Check the tread depth and the condition of the bushes and arms during your viewing.
As a 2.0L diesel, this C-MAX is designed for efficient long-distance motoring, though insurance groups and tax bands will depend on the specific trim level. Fuel economy should be relatively high compared to petrol alternatives, making it suitable for motorway driving.
Typical maintenance costs for this model involve routine servicing and occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres or brake pads. You should budget for regular inspections of the suspension and lighting systems, which are statistically common maintenance areas for this model.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension components. While this vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects, the wider model data identifies tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps as the most frequent reasons for MOT failures in the C-MAX range.
Additionally, because this is a diesel engine with relatively low annual mileage, inspect the exhaust system and check for any signs of excessive soot or limp-mode symptoms, which can occur if the engine hasn't been driven at sustained speeds. Finally, check the operation of all exterior lights to avoid the common headlamp issues seen in other vehicles of this type.
This 2016 Ford C-MAX features a 2.0L diesel engine and has covered 48,024 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The vehicle's mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 6,961 miles per year, which would equate to roughly 62,649 miles for a ten-year-old car. The MOT record is notably consistent, with five consecutive passes and zero defects recorded between 2022 and 2026.
The Ford C-MAX has a 79.4% average MOT pass rate based on 123,645 analysed vehicles, with tyres, suspension, and headlamps being the primary failure points.
