4 How it compares with other 2016 C-Maxs

Against every Ford C-Max first used in 2016 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (10,589 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2016 C-MaxWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts5 of 9 (56%)77.7% in 2025Lower than the group figure
Fails, first attempts4 of 917.4% of first testsLower than the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)34.9% of first tests3 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (26 Sept 2026)47,714 miles60,759 (middle half 44,696–78,230)Inside the middle half; not an outlier
Clean passes (no advisories)2 of 942.4% of first testsLower than the group figure

"Typical" is every Ford C-Max first used in 2016, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car.

Check before you buy — for this car

  1. On this carTyres. dangerous item, advisory recorded in the last two years (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025). Worth checking the tread depth across the whole width of each tyre, and the sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
  2. On this carLamps & visibility. advisory recorded in the last two years (2018, 2021, 2023, 2025). Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.
  3. On this carEngine – oil. advisory recorded in the last two years (2024). Worth looking under the car and around the engine for fresh oil, and asking when it was last serviced.
  4. Nothing recentBrakes. A top failure area for 2016 C-Maxs. Recorded on this car in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, nothing in the last two years. Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 6 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
