2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · EO66 YJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in August 2025 at 81,112 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a significant period of neglect leading into mid-2025. A major failure at 79,816 miles revealed multiple safety-critical defects, most notably critically worn front brake pads and four defective tyres. While the vehicle passed a re-test just two months later, the cluster of failures suggests a pattern where the owner only addressed essential repairs when forced by the MOT tester. At 81,112 miles over ten years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an MPV. The data shows a gap of over 11,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, followed by a rapid 1,300 miles in the two months leading up to the failed test. This recent burst of mileage after a quieter period likely explains the poor state of the tyres and braking components noted in the 2025 record. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension thoroughly, as the record flagged corroded coil springs in both 2023 and 2024. While these did not cause immediate failure, the persistence of the corrosion suggests an environment or age factor that may lead to structural fatigue. The ABS fault light recorded during the June 2025 failure also requires verification to ensure the sensor or module was cleared and repaired, as a recurring fault would indicate a more expensive electrical or hydraulic issue.
