2018 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · HT18 ADV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite recent testing irregularities. The most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 46,355 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just six days prior. This pattern suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying faults to ensure legal compliance, although the lack of recorded advisories across all tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently within acceptable tolerances. The mileage profile is significantly low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, with 8,015 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 4,970 miles recorded between June 2024 and May 2025. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes or seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the areas that caused the failures in June 2024 and 2025, as the specific mechanical causes were not detailed in the provided summary. Given the low mileage, the focus should be on checking for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of the suspension system to ensure that low-mile use has not led to neglected environmental degradation or perished components.
