2014 Ford Grand C-MAX Titanium Tdci 115 1.6L Diesel · AF14 WKC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 April 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with four consecutive clean passes since 2023. This suggests a consistent approach to upkeep, as the minor advisories noted in 2022 regarding front inner brake pad wear and rear indicator lens discoloration appear to have been rectified, indicating that the previous owner has been proactive in addressing maintenance requirements before they became critical failures. With a recorded mileage of 121,284 miles over a twelve year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,107 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a family vehicle of this age and suggests a balanced duty cycle. While this mileage is not excessively high, it does mean that several high-wear consumables will be reaching the end of their natural service life, particularly regarding the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, necessitating a focused inspection of these areas. Given the clean MOT record, the buyer should focus on age-related degradation that is not always captured in a standard test. It is imperative to verify the service history for the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical failure points for the TDCI engine if not changed according to the manufacturer's calendar or mileage intervals. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks from the front suspension, which would indicate worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs, and check for any shuddering under braking that might suggest warped brake discs. A physical inspection should include a thorough check of the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth, as rubber degrades over time. The 12V battery health should be verified, and the brake calipers should be checked for binding, which can occur if the vehicle has had periods of inactivity. Finally, ensure the service book is stamped and that fluid degradation has been managed through regular oil and coolant changes to prevent internal engine sludge or corrosion within the cooling system.
