2011 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · MM11 ORZ

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on May 6, 2025 at 99,958 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a period of mechanical instability in the previous year. While the vehicle suffered two consecutive failures in late May 2024, the subsequent pass without any recorded defects or advisories suggests that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs immediately to bring the car back up to legal standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the vehicle covered 4,644 miles, which represents a slight dip in the annual average. However, the jump of 5,325 miles between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests shows a return to steady operation. This low mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and suspension components, though the age of the vehicle increases the risk of with periods of standing, which can affect the integrity of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely led to the 2024 failures, although the specific defect codes were not provided in the summary. Given the age, a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball arm joints is essential as these are common points of wear on this model. Examine the underside for structural corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust system, and inspect the brake system for binding calipers or excessive disc pitting to ensure the recent clean pass reflects genuine mechanical health.
