2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · FP66 RVE

The 2016 Ford Grand C-Max presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 12 June 2025 at 32,827 miles. A duplicate entry on the same date shows a failure with no defects recorded, likely an administrative anomaly or an aborted test, but the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met required standards. The absence of any recorded defects across the entire history indicates consistent mechanical care and no recurring structural or safety issues. This pattern suggests a diligent approach to vehicle upkeep. The recorded mileage of 32,827 miles over a decade equates to roughly 3,283 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for its age. The annual mileage accumulation has fluctuated, however. Between the September 2022 test at 18,573 miles and the May 2023 test at 19,657 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,084 miles. Usage increased significantly thereafter, with the tester recording 26,768 miles in June 2024 and 32,827 miles in June 2025, reflecting a recent uptick to approximately 6,500 miles annually. This low-mileage profile reduces wear on drivetrain components but raises questions about prolonged periods of inactivity. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues typical of cars that stand idle for extended durations. Low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from deteriorated rubber suspension bushes, perished tyre sidewalls, and binding brake calipers caused by corrosion on the discs. The tester found no structural rust or exhaust defects in recent years, yet an in-person inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the flexibility of the suspension components. Checking the date codes on the tyres remains essential, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth.
