2012 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EO12 KCK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in July 2025, but it did so with a significant list of advisories that indicate a decline in mechanical condition. There is a clear and recurring pattern of wear regarding the front suspension and drivetrain. Front suspension arm bushes have been flagged consistently since 2021, and the inner drive shaft CV boots have been described as severely deteriorated in both 2022 and 2025. This suggests that these defects are being monitored but not necessarily repaired. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. Recent entries show new issues emerging, such as corroded rear coil springs and worn, pitted front brake discs. The repetition of the same suspension and CV boot advisories over several years indicates a lack of preventative maintenance. The mileage of 112,874 miles is typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. This suggests the car has seen regular use, which explains the general wear on consumables and suspension components, but it does not indicate extreme hard use or the risks associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the front CV boots for tears and check the suspension for excessive play.
