2013 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · EX13 AED

The 2013 Ford Grand C-Max with 117,055 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 at 117,055 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, a failed test on 2025-10-24 just four days prior at 117,054 miles raises questions about procedural consistency or minor unresolved issues. Previous tests from 2023 to 2024 showed no defects, indicating the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards over the last three years. The lack of recurring mechanical faults suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the abrupt failure in late 2025 warrants closer scrutiny of any unresolved issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging ~9,000 miles per year. Notable gaps exist between tests, with a 12-month interval between the 2024-10-21 pass (104,297 miles) and the 2025-10-28 pass, followed by a 12-month gap to the current date. This pattern could indicate infrequent inspections or periods of reduced usage. The absence of defects in all recorded tests, aside from the final failure, suggests the car has not exhibited critical mechanical degradation. However, the sparse data limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and chassis, given the vehicle’s age. Suspension components, including coil springs and shock absorbers, should be checked for wear, as prolonged inactivity or uneven mileage distribution may accelerate fatigue. The failed MOT’s lack of recorded defects implies a minor or procedural issue, but verifying the resolution of any outstanding concerns is essential. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy but requires thorough mechanical evaluation to confirm its condition beyond the MOT records.
