2018 FORD GRAND C-MAX1.0L Petrol

The 2018 Ford Grand C-Max presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 13 October 2025 at 41,539 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination returning a pass or a same-day pass following an administrative fail. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring component failures. Recorded mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car, rising from 29,952 miles at the 17 October 2023 test to 35,657 miles by 14 October 2024 and 41,539 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 5,900 miles per year, confirming light use. The two failed entries on 17 October 2023 and 14 October 2024 carry identical mileages to the passes logged the same day and list no defects, pointing to procedural or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory list. Low annual mileage often means long stationary periods, which accelerate tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and corrosion on brake discs and underbody members through lack of movement. The Grand C-Max uses rear torsion beam suspension with rubber bushes that degrade with age irrespective of miles; these warrant hands-on checks for splits or play. Verify the VIN and test documentation behind the two zero-defect fails to confirm they were clerical rather than concealed faults. Examine exhaust emissions and the diesel particulate filter if fitted, since short trips at this mileage can clog regen cycles. The history implies a carefully kept, lightly used vehicle, but standing time hides wear the MOT never captured.
