2018 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · PF18 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 16 May 2025 at 17,355 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. This record indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared every inspection since 2022 without a single recorded advisory. The brief failure on 24 February 2024 appears to be an administrative anomaly or a minor test-centre oversight, given that the vehicle passed later that same day with no faults listed. An eight-year-old vehicle with only 17,355 miles suggests a pattern of very light usage, averaging roughly 2,169 miles per annum. While this low mileage is often perceived as a benefit, it can lead to issues associated with long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. The steady accumulation of mileage between the 7,023 miles recorded in April 2022 and the current figure confirms the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left to sit for multiple years, which is a positive indicator for the health of the engine and drivetrain. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration from infrequent use. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers due to lack of regular movement. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, even if the tread depth remains high, as the rubber may have aged prematurely. Given the lack of any recorded structural or suspension advisories, the chassis and bushes appear to be in good order, but a visual check underneath for any signs of surface rust on the subframe remains a prudent step for a vehicle of this age.
