2013 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · EY13 YGC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 16 September 2025 at 115,864 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, although a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass is evident. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test within days of the scheduled appointment, suggesting that minor mechanical adjustments or consumable items are addressed only upon testing failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 115,864 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,913 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family MPV. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with roughly 11,300 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,100 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the components that likely triggered the recent failures, as the record does not specify the exact reasons for rejection. Given the age and mileage, focus on the state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral arms which are common points of wear on this model. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and check for binding brake calipers, as the lack of advisories on the latest pass indicates that issues are being rectified just before the test.
