2011 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · CK11 XOA

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT test on 19 June 2026 at 100,745 miles. The maintenance trend appears worsening in terms of safety systems, as evidenced by the critical failure of the parking brake efficiency which fell below 50 percent of the required value. The failure of both offside and nearside parking brake components alongside a failed fog lamp suggests a lack of basic pre-test checks and oversight by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a significant two-year data gap between the May 2018 test at 64,105 miles and the December 2020 test at 91,910 miles. During this period, the vehicle covered over 27,000 miles, which suggests periods of higher usage or neglect that often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seizing of brake mechanisms despite the low overall annual average. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the parking brake mechanism, as the recent failure indicates significant mechanical wear or corroded cables. The history also shows a recurring pattern of poor tyre management, with the 2018 and 2019 tests flagging multiple tyres with exposed cords and tread depths at the legal limit. This suggests the owner frequently deferred consumable maintenance until a test failure forced action. Physical inspection of the suspension bushes and structural corrosion on the chassis is also essential, given the age of the vehicle and the history of reactive repairs.
