2012 Ford Grand C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YD12 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 9 September 2023 at 95,854 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. This trend of clean passes extends back through the 2020 and 2019 tests, suggesting a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern shows a significant shift in usage over the vehicle's life. Between April 2017 and March 2018, the car covered 22,140 miles. This contrasts sharply with the period between August 2020 and September 2023, where it added only 8,614 miles over three years. The current total of 95,854 miles is typical for a 2012 model, though the recent decline in annual mileage may indicate the car has spent more time stationary in recent years. The absence of any advisories or failures across five tests is unusual for a fourteen year old Ford and suggests a high level of care. However, the MOT record is now nearly three years out of date relative to July 2026. A buyer must verify if the vehicle has been tested since September 2023 or if it has remained dormant. Given the age of the vehicle and the long gap since the last recorded test, a physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber suspension bushes, the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, and the health of the battery. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the low recent mileage suggests they may have timed out even if the tread remains legal.
