• Generation guide Ford C-Max II (2010-2019): known problems and buying guide

  A tidy C-Max is a practical family car, but avoid the wet PowerShift and check the 1.5 EcoBoost for coolant loss.

Known issues for this car

Before you buy this car

From the generation guide

1. On a 1.5 EcoBoost, check the coolant level and look for water in the engine oil. Ask for a cooling-system pressure test. Bad result: coolant loss or an uneven cold start.
2. Check the last TÜV report and look at the springs, shock absorbers and axle mounts. Knocks over bumps point to worn suspension.
3. Check the battery age, the charging voltage and any charge warning. Flat batteries and failed alternators are common breakdown causes.
4. Check open recalls by VIN with Ford or the KBA.
