2017 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · NJ17 ABF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend following an initial minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 June 2025 at 67,175 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes since 2022, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all mechanical and safety requirements without immediate remedial work needed. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Data from the July 2023 test at 39,186 miles to the June 2025 test at 67,175 miles shows a steady accumulation of roughly 14,000 miles over two years. This regularity suggests regular use, which often prevents the seal degradation and brake seizing associated with long-term stationary vehicles. The lack of long gaps between test dates indicates the owner has remained proactive regarding the annual legal safety testing schedule. While the recent history is remarkably clean, a buyer should investigate the cause of the failure on 14 July 2022 at 26,857 miles. Although the vehicle passed immediately on that same day, identifying the specific component that failed—such as a bulb or a minor leak—would provide insight into past oversight. Given the age of the C-Max, physical inspection should also focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and checking for surface corrosion on the chassis, as these components often begin to age regardless of the relatively low mileage.
