2012 Ford Grand C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FP12 XOV

The 2012 Ford Grand C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 10 December 2025 at 233,273 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle cleared the annual roadworthiness check without fault. Prior tests in January 2025, December 2023, December 2022 and December 2021 each passed with no defects logged, showing a consistent clean record over the past four years. The odometer shows 233,273 miles against a 14-year service life, equating to roughly 16,662 miles per year. Annual accumulation stayed moderate and even: the car covered 5,353 miles between the December 2021 and December 2022 tests, then 15,437 miles to December 2023, 9,328 to January 2025, and 5,353 to December 2025. No gaps exceed thirteen months, so the seller maintained continuous testing. High total mileage for the age implies heavier use, yet the absence of advisories suggests consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes were renewed before each test rather than left to flag. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The high mileage places the drivetrain, clutch and turbocharger under extended load, so a cold-start check and gearbox operation review is warranted. Suspension components including coil springs and anti-roll bar bushes deserve a road test for compliance, given the distance covered since 2012. The record implies previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard without deferring statutory checks. No recurring mechanical faults appear, so no worsening pattern exists. Verify service history matches the mileage and confirm genuine replacement of wear items, since a clean MOT sheet alone does not evidence routine maintenance beyond the test criteria.
