Ford C-Max C-Max Mk2 (2010–2019) CMAX-MK2
The second-generation C-Max (2010-2019) was sold across the EU market in both five-seat and longer-wheelbase seven-seat Grand C-Max form; Russian-market availability and timing for the Grand C-Max specifically could not be confirmed from the sources opened during research and should be treated as unresolved rather than asserted.
Its 1.0 EcoBoost engine carries the same documented cylinder-head coolant-intrusion risk confirmed on other Fox-family applications, so the cooling-system pressure test and oil-contamination check apply; a Duratorq TDCi diesel car needs its own service-history check instead.
Assessing an individual example means confirming body variant and engine from the documents and VIN before applying either route.

Pre-purchase checklist
- ☐Pressure-test the cooling system and check for a slow pressure drop with no visible external leak; pull the dipstick and filler cap and check for a milky emulsion; a workshop can confirm with a UV-dye coolant trace or a borescope inspection of the cylinder head for micro-cracks
- ☐Confirm from the documents whether this is the standard five-seat C-Max or the longer-wheelbase seven-seat Grand C-Max — Russia received only the Grand C-Max configuration where sold
