Our Verdict
This 2011 Ford Grand C-Max presents a ge
When inspecting this vehicle, examine the service record to see how regular maintenance has been carried out alongside the recorded MOT tests. Pay close attention to the clutch pedal and parking brake notes from the 2023 test, as well as the tyres and seatbelt buckle recorded in the 2025 test.
Negotiate on the price if any pending wear items or service intervals are due. Verify that all seven seats operate correctly, including the sliding rear doors which are a key feature of the Grand C-Max model.
Equipped with a 1997.0cc diesel engine, this Grand C-Max falls into a typical UK VED tax band depending on its CO2 emissions profile. Insurance groups for the 2.0-litre diesel variants generally sit in the moderate range, making it reasonable for family buyers.
Fuel economy should be competitive for a medium-to-large MPV on longer journeys. Maintenance costs will be aligned with standard Ford parts availability, though potential clutch or suspension replacements on a 15-year-old vehicle should be factored into your budget.
Inspect the tyres carefully, referencing the 2025 MOT advisories regarding cracking and a nail, to ensure adequate tread depth and sidewall integrity. Check the operation of the nearside rear seatbelt buckle, which caused an MOT failure in 2025, to confirm it latches and releases securely.
Examine the clutch pedal rubber and parking brake mechanism, noted with wear and limited reserve travel in 2023. Given the model's top MOT failure reasons—headlamps, brake pads, and tyres—verify the condition of all lighting units and braking components during your physical inspection.
First registered in May 2011, this red Ford Grand C-Max with a 1997.0cc diesel engine has covered 85,471 miles as of its June 2026 test. Its recorded mileage is lower than the model average of approximately 120,000 miles for a 15-year-old vehicle based on annual averages. The MOT history shows passes in 2026, 2024, and 2023, alongside a failure and subsequent pass in 2025.
Across 37,244 analysed Ford Grand C-Max vehicles, the average MOT pass rate is 78.6%, with headlamps, brake pads, and tyres forming the top failure categories.
