2015 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · MM65 MLY

The most recent MOT test on 13 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history since 2024, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably stable maintenance trend, consistently passing without any recorded advisories or failure points. While there are instances of failures recorded immediately prior to the passing certificates, the total absence of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor issues rectified instantly. The lack of recurring advisories indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a roadworthy standard. With a recorded mileage of 125,144 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,377 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a multi-purpose vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty mileage. At this distance, however, the mechanical components have entered a phase where wear on consumables and drivetrain elements becomes more pronounced, necessitating a closer look at the long-term service history. Given the exceptionally clean MOT record, the buyer should shift focus toward age-related wear and maintenance items that the MOT does not specifically capture. At 125,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be scrutinized for signs of fatigue or leaking. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushings or ball joints. Check the steering for any play or heaviness, and ensure there is no shuddering under braking, which would suggest warped brake discs or binding calipers. It is essential to verify the service book for evidence of timely oil changes and the replacement of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical for the longevity of the engine. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or perishing, regardless of tread depth, as rubber degrades over time. Check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure all fluids are clean and at the correct levels. Finally, inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age and mileage.
