The FORD C-MAX (2007-11) 5DR MPV 1.8 125 STYLE is a compact five-door family MPV, sitting between a hatchback and a larger people carrier in the UK used-car market. Its taller shape and practical cabin make it a sensible alternative to family hatchbacks, without the bulk of larger people carriers. With room for passengers and luggage, this C-MAX suits small families, school runs and commuting, and is easier to park than a bigger MPV. The 125-horsepower 1.8 petrol offers straightforward, familiar performance; buyers prioritising low fuel bills may prefer a smaller-engine rival, while this version is appealing for family motoring. mycarcheck.com recorded 569 checks across 255 distinct VINs, a substantial sample. Average recorded mileage was 100,000, annual mileage 5,000, and owners had averaged four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,000. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira, the C-MAX is known for car-like handling and a practical cabin.
