2018 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SF18 YKM

The 2018 Ford Grand C-Max presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 7 November 2025 at 93,083 miles passing with zero defects. Every recorded test in the history, stretching back to December 2021, has passed without a single advisory or failure. This is a strong indicator of consistent mechanical care and a resolving or non-existent fault pattern across all tested systems, including brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear and typical for the vehicle's age. Between the December 2021 test at 29,854 miles and the November 2025 test at 93,083 miles, the car covered approximately 63,229 miles over nearly four years, averaging roughly 15,800 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are steady, with no sudden spikes suggesting prolonged high-stress use, nor suspiciously low gaps indicating long periods of inactivity that could cause deterioration of rubber components or brake corrosion from standing. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of wear. At 93,083 miles, consumable components such as tyres, brake discs and pads, and suspension bushes are likely approaching replacement age depending on driving conditions. Inspect the underside for any early signs of corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust systems, as these can develop between tests without triggering an immediate failure. Check the condition of all rubber bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for perishing or oil misting, and verify that all dashboard warning lamps illuminate and extinguish correctly during a cold start. A short test drive should confirm smooth gearchanges, absence of clutch slip, and no pulling or binding from the braking system under firm application.
