2017 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · SN67 WOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on June 3 2026 at 63,174 miles passed despite multiple critical advisories regarding thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and worn front tyres. This mirrors issues seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that brake components are only addressed after they reached a point of failure or significant wear. The mileage progression is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 44,250 miles and the June 2026 test at 63,174 miles, the car covered 18,924 miles, indicating steady annual use. While the low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain, it also highlights aging rubber components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking tyres noted in 2023 and 2024. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system specifically, as the record indicates recurring issues with scored discs and thin pads across three consecutive years. The 2025 failure for mismatched tyre sizes on the nearside rear axle is a red flag for poor owner diligence and should be verified as a matching set now. Furthermore, the suspension requires close attention; the 2023 report flagged worn trailing arm bushes and misting rear shock absorbers, Ensure the degradation has not progressed into structural failure or significant leaks.
