Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2011 Ford Grand C-Max exhibits a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-02-19 at 105,684 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent compliance since 2022, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged. The single failure in 2023-05-10 at 91,323 miles was recorded without defects, suggesting either a technical anomaly or a minor issue resolved prior to subsequent passes. No advisories or critical faults appear in the records, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,046 miles annually. A notable gap between the 2022-05-16 test (75,938 miles) and the 2023-05-24 test (91,323 miles) reflects a 15,385-mile increase over 12 months, which is within normal parameters for a vehicle of this age. The 2024-02-23 test at 93,416 miles shows a minor 2,093-mile rise in eight months, suggesting steady but not excessive usage. The absence of repeated failures or advisories in the records implies no systemic deterioration in key components such as brakes, suspension, or exhaust. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil springs and bushings, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT consequences. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these issues may not trigger immediate failures. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in hidden areas could develop unnoticed. While the MOT history indicates no critical faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm continued roadworthiness.
