2011 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · VE61 ABX

The 2011 Ford Grand C-Max stands roadworthy per the latest DVSA examination on 16 October 2025 at 93,367 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five available annual tests is stable, showing passes each year and no advisories. On 17 October 2024 the system logs both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 88,266 with no faults cited; this anomaly points to a procedural re-test or clerical error rather than a mechanical defect. Recorded odometer readings climb from 75,317 on 21 October 2022 to 82,792 on 19 October 2023, then 88,266 on 17 October 2024, reaching 93,367 on 16 October 2025. These increments reflect yearly use of roughly 5,100 to 7,500 miles, matching the vehicle's lifetime average near 6,224 miles per annum for its fifteen years. The unbroken October testing rhythm leaves no coverage gaps, and the absence of recorded defects suggests previous owners maintained tyres, wipers, and key mechanical parts to pass standard. A spotless MOT history does not shield a decade-and-a-half-old people carrier from latent wear. The buyer must personally inspect front and rear suspension bushes for cracking, examine coil springs for snapped coils, and drive the car to detect binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Underbody seams and sills demand checking for corrosion that may threaten structural integrity, while a probe of exhaust emissions verifies catalyst health beyond the test limit. Given the contradictory 2024 entries showing a no-defect failure, request the original test documentation to confirm no hidden issue. Subject to those verification steps and the hands-on checks above, the vehicle's documented record supports a sound used purchase.
