2017 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · CX67 NHV

The 2017 Ford Grand C-Max demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-10-04 at 70,570 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s history shows no recurring faults or escalating problems, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the absence of recorded defects does not confirm the absence of wear, particularly in components like suspension bushes or brake discs, which may require closer inspection. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,841 miles annually. A notable jump from 38,920 miles in 2022 to 54,934 miles in 2024—over 16,000 miles in 17 months—suggests periods of heavier use, which could accelerate wear on consumables such as tyres or brake pads. The lack of advisories or failures in this period implies these components were managed adequately, but the rapid accumulation warrants scrutiny of their current condition. The vehicle’s low-mileage phase between 2021 and 2022 (29,724 to 38,920 miles) may indicate periods of reduced activity, which could affect fluid freshness or electrical system health. A prospective buyer should verify the suspension’s integrity, focusing on coil springs and bushings, as well as the brake system’s calipers and discs for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural body panels should also be checked for rust, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no red flags, the vehicle’s age and mileage mean that hidden degradation in non-motored components—such as the drivetrain or steering—could exist. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise these areas to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
