2011 Ford Grand C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · HV61 KWF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred suspension and tyre upkeep. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 120,997 miles identified worn trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside rear suspension. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the rear suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life and require attention before they deteriorate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 84,589 miles and July 2025 at 120,997 miles, the car covered 36,408 miles, representing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy usage. This mileage is typical for a family MP but explains the gradual wear on rubber components and tyres seen across the annual records. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension alignment, as the history shows recurring inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2021, 2024, and 2025. This persistent issue suggests that worn bushes or incorrect camber geometry are causing premature tyre degradation. The physical inspection should also verify the condition of the rear trailing arm bushes for further cracking or tearing, as the 2025 advisory already flagged them as worn.
