2016 Ford C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YM65 AAZ

The 2016 Ford C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 43,286 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results dating back to February 2022. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the five-year history, which indicates the vehicle has been maintained to at least the minimum legal standard throughout. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 2 February 2022 test at 25,393 miles to the 3 March 2026 test at 43,286 miles, the car covered just 17,893 miles over four years, averaging roughly 4,329 miles per year. Annual increments stayed consistent and modest, rising from 30,235 miles in February 2023 to 34,236 in January 2024, 38,670 in February 2025, and 43,286 in March 2026. The clean record across this low-mileage span suggests careful ownership, though prolonged standing between uses can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the age and likely periods of inactivity. The MOT history flags no structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions failures, or binding brakes, so no specific mechanical fault demands urgent attention. Given the absence of recorded advisories, focus the viewing on underbody corrosion, tyre sidewall condition, and brake disc surface rust that short test drives may not reveal. The low annual mileage means consumable wear is minimal, but age-related degradation of hoses and suspension mounts remains a prudent check before purchase.
