2012 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · GL12 OLT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last two years. The most recent inspection in April 2025 at 117,764 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. While the history shows a failure in April 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent two years of clean passes suggest the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults before escalation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old MPV, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 94,757 miles and the April 2025 test at 117,764 miles, the vehicle covered 23,007 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized components. The lack of advisories in the last three tests implies that major mechanical and structural components remain in good condition. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for a Ford of this age and mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often wear out without triggering a failure unless they snap. Given the mileage exceeds 117,000 miles, verifying the absence of fluid leaks and checking the brake discs for excessive thinning is prudent. The structural integrity of the underside, particularly around the sills, should be visually inspected to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last official check.
