2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · FD16 LRU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 18 July 2025 at 84,027 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved a pass immediately following initial test failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent re-tests indicate that the owner is proactive in addressing and rectifying any defects identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 65,741 miles and the July 2024 test at 76,146 miles, the vehicle covered 10,405 miles. A further 7,881 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber-based components and brake seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided summary does not list the exact mechanical faults. Given the age and mileage of this Grand C-Max, close attention is required regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake calipers. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system to ensure that no hidden rust is developing despite the clean MOT pass results.
