2011 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · LG61 BCF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a stable trend of unaddressed mechanical wear. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 76,343 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced concerns regarding tyre condition, specifically a perished nearside front tyre and uneven wear on the offside front. The recurring nature of specific advisories over the last four years suggests a reactive approach to de-airs rather than a preventative maintenance strategy. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage intervals, with roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles driven between each annual test starting from early 2022. This low mileage often reduces strain on the engine and drivetrain components but frequently leads to rubber degradation and component-related failures due to periods of standing, which is consistent with the tyre issues noted in the latest record. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the nearside front shock absorbers, which have been flagged for light oil misting in four consecutive MOT tests since 2022 at 60,804 miles. Although this has not yet resulted in a failure, the persistent leak indicates a failing seal that will eventually require strut replacement. The suspension geometry should also be checked for alignment, as the history shows repeated inner edge wear on the offside front and edge wear on the nearside rear tyres, suggesting a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified.
