Our Verdict
This Ford C-MAX is a sensible purchase for those seeking a diesel MPV with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle has maintained a clean history with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests.
When inspecting this specific 2017 diesel model, verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been addressed according to Ford's intervals. Because this is a 1.5L diesel, check for any signs of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues if the vehicle has primarily been used for short urban trips.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle has covered approximately 9,282 miles per year, which is higher than the aggregate model average of 6,961. Check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, as these are statistically common failure points for the C-MAX model across the wider dataset.
As a 1499cc diesel, this C-MAX is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys. Fuel economy should be competitive for a vehicle of its size, though actual costs will depend on your driving style and load.
Expect moderate maintenance costs. While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the model aggregate data suggests that tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps are the most frequent areas requiring expenditure. Insurance groups for the C-MAX are typically mid-range, and tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 emissions recorded at registration.
Focus your physical inspection on the suspension and tyres. The aggregate data for this model identifies suspension arms and tyres as top MOT failure reasons, so look for uneven tyre wear or any knocking sounds from the underside during a test drive.
Additionally, check the headlamp clarity and alignment. Headlamps are noted as a frequent failure reason in the wider Ford C-MAX dataset. Given the vehicle's age, ensure all electrical components and exterior lighting are functioning correctly to avoid common compliance issues.
Registered in May 2017, this grey 1.5L diesel Ford C-MAX has covered 64,976 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or failure. While the mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 6,961 per year, the lack of recorded issues provides a stable baseline for consideration.
The Ford C-MAX shows a 79.4% average MOT pass rate across the 123,645 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to tyres, suspension, and lighting.
