2012 FORD GRAND C-MAX2.0L Diesel

The 2012 Ford Grand C-Max demonstrates a fully roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 15 August 2025 at 73,014 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual examinations from July 2021 to August 2025, the vehicle cleared each assessment without a single failure or advisory. This unbroken sequence signals consistent upkeep by previous keepers and no escalating mechanical concerns. The record shows 56,248 miles at the 26 July 2021 test, rising to 60,903 miles on 27 July 2022, 64,650 miles on 5 August 2023, 68,301 miles on 29 July 2024, and 73,014 miles on 15 August 2025. Annual increments stayed between 3,651 and 4,713 miles, reflecting light use for a fourteen-year-old MPV and averaging roughly 5,200 miles per year. No testing gaps appear; the keeper maintained yearly compliance. Such low throughput suggests gentle motoring, though prolonged standing periods common with low mileage can disguise perished rubber components. Despite the spotless MOT ledger, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of age-sensitive items. The tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers, lipped brake discs, or corrosion affecting structural integrity across the five exams. However, a 2012 model with low annual use may harbour unseen exhaust emissions drift under load and degraded tyres or wiper blades if left unused. Physical scrutiny of underbody rust, flexible mounts, and brake function remains prudent before purchase.
