2016 Ford C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · YF16 AFA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs as mileage increases. The most recent test in April 2025 at 134,600 miles passed despite an advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring. follows a period of clean results in 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle is currently compliant, components are beginning to show signs of age and wear-related fatigue. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,400 miles per annum. A significant surge in usage occurred between February 2021 (57,740 miles) and January 2023 (100,501 miles), representing over 42,000 miles in just two years. This rate of accumulation remained high with another 34,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2025 tests. Such consistent mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear suspension for further signs of corrosion, as the record flags rust issues with springs in both 2022 and 2025. The history of thin brake pads noted in 2023 and uneven tyre wear in 2019 suggests that consumables are often replaced only when they approach failure limits. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the shock absorbers for leaks and the structural integrity of the chassis is necessary to ensure the heavy usage has not compromised the vehicle beyond the visible components.
