FORD GRAND C-MAX2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2016 Ford Grand C-Max presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 September 2025 at 63,785 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The prior day, 15 September 2025, shows a failed test at the same mileage with no defects logged, a clear administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Every other annual examination from 2022 through 2024 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has avoided recurring wear-related failures. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 6,378 miles against the car's ten-year life, a typical figure for this age bracket. The records show steady accumulation: 43,039 miles on 6 October 2022, 51,024 on 5 October 2023, 56,530 on 24 September 2024, and 63,785 by September 2025. No abrupt jumps or standing gaps appear in the data, and the clean sheet across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory record. The absence of flagged items does not certify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or underbody corrosion at ten years old. Ford's C-Max platform is prone to rear trailing arm wear and subframe rust in damp climates, neither of which a fault-free MOT necessarily captures. Given the 15 September 2025 failure with no defects cited, verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the pass is valid and the anomaly was clerical. Otherwise the DVSA trail implies disciplined ownership, though in-person checks on tyre sidewalls, exhaust emissions under load, and binding calipers remain prudent before purchase.
