2015 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · MD15 FHM

The 2015 Ford Grand C-Max has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 2025-07-21 at 70,652 miles. This clean record suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or structural issues during the past 12 months, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The most recent test was conducted just 12 months prior to today, which is standard for MOT validity, but the lack of any warnings means no prior issues were noted by the tester. However, the record’s silence on consumables like brake pads or tyres means those components will require immediate verification, as they are not covered by the MOT’s static inspection. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,423 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record—each test was conducted within the expected 12-month window, and the mileage increments are consistent. The December 2022 test at 47,766 miles followed closely by the December 2021 test at 37,776 miles suggests no prolonged periods of inactivity, which could have allowed corrosion or fluid degradation. Still, the lack of advisories or defects in any test implies that previous owners did not neglect basic maintenance, though this does not guarantee current condition—especially for components like suspension dampers or exhaust systems, which are not always visible during an MOT. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this model. The brakes—while not flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the MOT does not test pad thickness beyond the legal minimum. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns must also be verified, as the record shows no defects in this area despite the vehicle’s age. Finally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and are not always thoroughly assessed in a standard MOT. The absence of advisories in past tests does not rule out gradual deterioration in these areas.
