2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SA66 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on June 5, 2025 at 70,812 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards. While the record shows two failures on the same day as successful passes, the lack of specific defect descriptions in the data suggests minor administrative or trivial consumable issues that were rectified immediately before clearance rather than systemic mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 49,132 miles and the July 2024 test at 57,989 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles. The subsequent interval of 12,823 miles leading to the June 2025 test shows a steady, predictable usage rate. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, but can sometimes mask aging in rubber-based suspension components due to dry rot. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and suspension components common to this model. Given the low mileage, check for perished rubber control arm bushes and lateral arm links, as these degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop uneven pad wear. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the rear subframe and mounting points to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed that the clean MOT records might not highlight.
