2014 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · AF14 UDO

The vehicle presents in a good roadworthy state with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 March 2026 at 79,208 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This shift from the advisory-heavy history to a clean pass suggests the current owner is proactive regarding essential safety-critical components. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 60,962 miles and the 2026 test at 79,208 miles, the car covered 18,246 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components or fluid contamination. A buyer should focus attention on the braking system following the March 2023 test at 66,097 miles, where the tester flagged thin nearside rear brake pads and worn discs on both front and rear axles. While these were noted as worn rather than failing at that time, they indicate the vehicle was reaching a service interval. A physical inspection should verify that the pads and discs were subsequently replaced and that there are no signs of binding calipers or uneven wear currently. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also check for age-related wear on the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish before the tread wears out. The lack of structural corrosion advisories in the last four years is a positive indicator for a Ford of this era, but a standard check of the underbody and mounting points remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed between the MOT intervals.
