Overview
Local preview — inspection orientation

The first-generation C-Max (2003-2010, badged Focus C-Max until a 2007 rename) diverged between markets: Russian dealer sales began in 2003 with petrol-only engines, while the EU market additionally offered a 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel never officially supplied to Russia.

No independently sourced engine-scoped diagnostic evidence has been confirmed yet for either engine, so this record is a configuration reference rather than a reliability assessment.

Assessing an individual example means confirming market and engine from the documents and VIN before relying on its own documented service history.

Filtered: DURATEC-HE-1.8 · 1.8 Duratec HE.

Pre-purchase checklist

Documents
  • Confirm the market and engine from the documents — RU-market C-Max Mk1 cars are petrol-only; a diesel-badged car claiming RU origin needs its paperwork checked carefully
  • No engine-scoped reliability evidence has been independently confirmed for this configuration yet; verify the engine/trim from the vehicle's own documents and VIN and treat this record as configuration-only, not a diagnostic assessment
