2014 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · PN14 ABZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 147,168 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,264 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the odometer rose from 126,881 to 147,168 miles. This indicates consistent, heavy use over the last two years rather than periods of stagnation. Such high mileage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests these have been managed. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. Given the 147,168 mile total, check for play in the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs. Inspect the brake discs for excessive lip wear and check for any signs of binding calipers, as these components often degrade under high mileage even if they pass a basic test. Check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the record does not provide a detailed history of underbody condition. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the absence of any recorded defects over several years of high mileage is unusual. Verify that service intervals for the timing belt and water pump have been adhered to, as these are critical failure points for this engine and are not checked during a standard MOT.
