2011 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · SB51 APB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-10 at 156,677 miles shows a pass with no defects recorded, but this test is over 15 months old as of 2026-07-20, exceeding the standard one-year validity period. A duplicate entry for the same date and mileage indicates a failed test with no defects, which is contradictory and may suggest administrative error. Earlier tests from 2023 and 2022 show consistent passes with no defects, implying stable maintenance up to 2023. However, the lack of recent data beyond April 2025 raises concerns about potential unrecorded issues, particularly given the vehicle’s age and high mileage. The recorded mileage of 156,677 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 10,445 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for this age. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, suggesting steady operation. However, the absence of MOT records between 2022 and 2025—despite the vehicle’s age—limits insight into its maintenance trajectory. The 2023 test at 139,225 miles and 2022 test at 131,421 miles showed no defects, but the lack of subsequent tests after 2023 means the vehicle’s condition post-2023 remains unverified. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, warrants scrutiny due to high mileage. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be checked, as these components often fail without visible warning signs. The duplicate MOT entries necessitate verification with the DVSA to confirm the vehicle’s compliance history. Overall, while the vehicle appears mechanically sound based on prior records, the outdated MOT and incomplete data require further professional assessment before purchase.
