2017 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · NL67 ADO

The 2017 Ford Grand C-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-05-29 at 44,458 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. The absence of advisories or failures across nearly four years of testing implies the owner prioritized regular servicing, though the lack of recent inspection (14 months since last test) may warrant closer scrutiny. Mileage progression shows a steady decline from 24,592 miles in 2021 to 44,458 in 2025, averaging 4,940 miles annually. This low usage rate, below the typical 6,000–7,000 miles per year for a nine-year-old vehicle, suggests either light driving or prolonged inactivity. Notably, the 2024-08-27 test at 42,046 miles occurred just 10 months after the 2023-09-14 test at 36,899 miles, raising questions about the vehicle’s operational frequency. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables, it may also indicate underuse of components like the engine and transmission, which could lead to fluid degradation or mechanical stiffness. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, even if no issues were flagged. The exhaust system and body panels require scrutiny for hidden rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture. Despite the clean MOT record, the extended gap since the last test and low mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and identify any latent issues.
