Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the braking system and tyre condition. The 2025 failure for brake pads and the 2026 advisory for pitted and scored front discs suggest that braking components are reaching the end of their life. Use these specific MOT findings to negotiate a price reduction to cover the cost of new discs and tyres.
Ensure you verify the service history for the 2.0L diesel engine, as maintenance records for a vehicle of this age are critical. Check that the headlamp issues identified during the 2025 failure have been permanently resolved with compatible components rather than temporary fixes.
The 2.0L diesel engine typically offers a balance of torque and fuel efficiency suitable for a large MPV, though tax bands for 2011 diesel models can be higher than modern equivalents. Insurance groups for the Grand C-Max are generally moderate, making it a viable family option.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher in the short term given the current advisories on brake discs and tyres. Annual costs will include standard diesel servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items highlighted in the MOT history.
Prioritise an inspection of the front brake discs, which were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in June 2026. Additionally, check the nearside front tyre, which was recorded as being close to the legal limit.
Inspect the rear brakes for any signs of binding, as this was a specific cause for the June 2025 failure. Finally, verify the headlamp beams and bulb compatibility to ensure the issues that led to the 2025 failure have been fully rectified.
This black 2011 Ford Grand C-Max has covered 100,695 miles. The MOT history shows a clean record in 2023 and 2024, but a failure in June 2025 and current advisories in June 2026. The data highlights recurring issues with tyres and braking components.
The Grand C-Max has an average MOT pass rate of 78.6%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, brake pads, and tyres, all of which are present in this vehicle's history.
