2013 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EX13 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 August 2025 at 127,776 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows two years of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed potential mechanical issues before they resulted in test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 27,597 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 9,200 miles annually. The brief failure recorded on 30 August 2023 at 109,524 miles, followed just one mile later by a pass the next day, implies a minor item repair, such as a light bulb or a small component, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. Despite the recent clean records, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components subject to high-mileage wear. Given the vehicle has exceeded 125,000 miles, focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for fatigue. Inspect the underbody for corrosion particularly on the brake lines and structural sills, as the MOT only checks for structural failure rather than gradual surface rust. The lack of advisories in the latest test suggests the vehicle is currently in good condition, but standard age-related wear remains likely for a Ford of this era.
