2018 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · AF18 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of annual passes. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 78,445 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two miles prior on the same day. This sequence suggests a minor technicality, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was rectified immediately, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining legal compliance by the owner. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Data shows steady accumulation from 47,674 miles in February 2023 to 78,445 miles in February 2026. These intervals of roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles per annum indicate regular road use, which is generally more beneficial for mechanical components like seals, bushings, and brake assemblies to prevent the accelerated corrosion and rubber degradation associated with long periods of stationary storage. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories over the last three years, the physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the test does not always capture. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these are common points of wear on this model. Given the mileage, checking the brake disc surfaces for uneven wear and inspecting the shock absorbers for leaks remains prudent steps to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean administrative history.
