2019 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · L22 GJA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 74,488 miles passed despite flagging both nearside and offside front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a clean record in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they trigger an inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical family-use-case, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 11,935 miles between January 2025 and February 2026, compared to the more modest accumulation of 5,731 miles in the year between April 2023 and February 2024. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect, which is generally beneficial for the longevity of rubber components and seals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2026 often points to worn bushes or faulty shock dampers. The brake history shows a need for full front and rear replacement in April 2023, and while subsequent tests passed without defect, the current pads should be checked for thickness and glazing to ensure they are not thinning prematurely. Given the previous failure for ineffective wipers in 2023, the wiper arms and blades should be tested for tension to ensure visibility in heavy rain.
