2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · CK66 ABX

The 2016 Ford Grand C-Max remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-11-13 at 19,699 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as all six consecutive tests from 2022 to 2025 show passing results with no emerging issues. No advisories or failures were noted across the full history, indicating consistent adherence to basic upkeep. The vehicle’s low mileage of 19,699—roughly 1,970 miles annually—suggests infrequent use, which may have preserved components but could also mask wear in systems rarely exercised. The mileage progression reveals a prolonged period of minimal usage, with the car accumulating just 1,149 miles between the 2023-02-13 test (8,612 miles) and 2024-01-22 test (8,796 miles). This slow accumulation raises questions about potential corrosion or fluid stagnation, though no such issues were flagged. Subsequent tests show gradual increases, reaching 9,149 miles by 2024-11-18, before the final 19,699-mile test. The absence of rapid mileage spikes or repeated failures implies no urgent mechanical concerns, but the low usage pattern warrants closer inspection of age-related degradation. A buyer should prioritise checking the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and suspension mounts, given the vehicle’s prolonged inactivity. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may require scrutiny for stiffness or wear despite no recorded faults. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can lead to seized parts. The absence of tyre tread issues in the history is positive, but a physical check of rubber age and condition is advisable. Overall, the MOT record confirms compliance but does not replace a hands-on inspection for hidden deterioration.
