The FORD C-MAX (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.6 T ECOBOOST SS 150 EU5 TITANIUM 6SPD is a compact, five-door family MPV: taller and more practical than a conventional hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. In the UK used-car market, it sits among family-friendly alternatives such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Volkswagen Golf Plus. With flexible cabin space, useful rear-seat room and a raised driving position, it suits parents, small families and commuters who want everyday comfort without moving up to a bulky SUV. The 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine gives brisk, confident performance, while the Titanium trim brings an appealing level of equipment; its six-speed manual makes it engaging on longer journeys. Mycarcheck.com records 198 checks across 121 VINs: average mileage is 77,000, annual use 6,000 miles and private-sale value £3,700. Owners average just over two previous keepers, so checking a car’s history is worthwhile before you buy.
