2018 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · KY68 AAJ

The 2018 Ford Grand C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 82,931 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from June 2022 to June 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 27 January 2023 at 70,716 miles, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than a fault with the vehicle. Annual mileage averages around 10,366 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 63,514 miles in June 2022, 70,929 by June 2023, 76,809 in June 2024, and 82,931 in June 2025. A single outlier exists in the January 2023 failure at 70,716 miles, just 213 miles below the June 2023 reading, suggesting a short-interval retest rather than rapid use. The history is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged. Given the clean pass record, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, wiper blade wear, and fluid levels. Examine coil springs and suspension bushes for fatigue not yet at failure threshold, and inspect brake calipers for any binding not caught in testing. The absence of recurring mechanical faults implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. No structural integrity issues appear in the data. Treat the January 2023 failure as a paperwork anomaly, not evidence of neglected care.
