FORD GRAND C-MAX2013 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-17 at 146,056 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the same date shows a prior failure with no defects listed, suggesting a potential data inconsistency or administrative error. The absence of recorded issues in the last three tests (2023–2025) implies consistent maintenance, though the repeated failures at identical mileage and date raise questions about the reliability of the MOT records. No structural, brake, or suspension issues were flagged in the passed tests, but the lack of defect details in failed entries limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 146,056 miles at 13 years old aligns with an average of 11,235 miles per year, reflecting typical usage. The 2023 test at 123,742 miles and 2024 test at 138,842 miles show steady annual increases, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. This pattern suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity, though the 2025-12-17 failure at the same mileage as the pass remains unexplained. The MOT history lacks anomalies in wear or corrosion, but the sparse data on mechanical components limits a deeper analysis of long-term degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over 13 years of use. Check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which may not trigger MOT failures but affect performance. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter, and assess the body for rust in hidden panels. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the lack of defect details in failed tests means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond documented records.
