2015 Ford Grand C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · MJ64 EFD

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive neglect. The most recent MOT test in May 2025 at 55,780 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the previous owner finally addressed the mechanical issues flagged in prior years. This follows a difficult period between 2022 and 2024 where the vehicle consistently failed or received multiple advisories regarding consumable components. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2019 and April 2020, where the car covered only 2,023 miles in five months. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the data suggests the vehicle sat stationary for long periods. The recurring issues with tyre per and cracking noted between 2021 and 2024 are classic symptoms of age andrelated leading to dry rot despite the low odometer readings. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all rubber components, as the history shows a persistent pattern of perishing tyres and bushes across multiple tests. The 2022 failure highlighted worn lower suspension arm bushes on both front sides, which should now be checked for current play or tearing to ensure they were replaced correctly. Additionally, the 2023 report identified thin rear brake pads and worn discs with lips; while the 2025 test passed, the current thickness of the rear braking hardware should be verified to ensure the system was not merely cleaned but properly overhauled.
