Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution regarding t
When inspecting this vehicle, you must verify the condition of the suspension trailing arm bushes, which were flagged as worn in the most recent MOT. Given the history of issues with wheel fixings and brake components, a professional pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised to ensure all structural and safety elements are secure.
Negotiate the price heavily to account for the necessary repairs highlighted by the current advisories. You should also request a comprehensive service history; the MOT record indicates a past oil leak and various wear-and-tear items that suggest a potentially demanding maintenance future.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this Grand C-Max will sit in a higher VED bracket compared to smaller-engined variants. You should budget for higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the age and mileage, particularly regarding the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and suspension components which are common wear points on this platform.
Insurance costs will depend on your personal profile, but as a multi-purpose vehicle, it is generally reasonable. Expect an estimated annual running cost, including fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, to fall between £1,600 and £2,100 depending on your annual mileage and local labour rates.
Focus your inspection on the suspension; specifically, the trailing arm bushes noted in the 2025 MOT. Check the tyres for uneven wear, as the offside front was recently reported as worn on the inner edge, which could indicate alignment issues. Ensure the central rear seat belt buckle functions correctly, as this was also flagged as damaged.
Inspect the wheels carefully to ensure all fixings are present and secure, given the history of missing bolts. Finally, check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay, as an oil leak was noted in the 2024 MOT history, and test all electronic systems to ensure the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully operational.
This 2016 Ford Grand C-Max has covered 110,525 miles, which is significantly higher than the typical annual average for this model. Its MOT history is inconsistent, featuring multiple failures related to safety-critical components such as braking systems, wheel security, and suspension. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025, it did so with several advisories that require immediate financial and mechanical consideration.
The Ford Grand C-Max generally performs in line with industry averages, though MOT data shows that headlamp, brake pad, and tyre issues are frequent failure points for this model.
