Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When inspecting this specific red Grand C-Max, focus heavily on the suspension system. The May 2026 MOT recorded worn pins or bushes on all four suspension arms (nearside and offside, front and rear). You should check if these have already been replaced or if they are simply nearing the end of their serviceable life.
Additionally, review the service history for evidence of brake maintenance. Given the 2025 failure involving a leaking hydraulic brake cylinder and the 2023 advisory regarding fluctuating service brakes, ensure the braking system has been thoroughly overhauled and is not prone to recurring leaks or uneven wear.
As a 1997cc diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent motorway fuel economy, though costs will depend on driving style and load. It will fall into a standard insurance group for a family MPV, and tax will be determined by its specific CO2 emissions.
Maintenance costs should be factored in higher than average due to the recurring nature of suspension and brake issues seen in the records. Expect regular intervals for tyre replacements and suspension component refreshes. An estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,400 is realistic, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance.
A priority inspection should be the suspension geometry and the condition of the rubber bushes. The MOT history shows a consistent trend of worn suspension arm pins and trailing arm bushes across both the nearside and offside. A test drive to listen for knocks or clunks over bumps is essential.
Secondly, inspect the braking system thoroughly. You should look for any signs of fluid weeping around the calipers, following the hydraulic brake cylinder leak recorded in May 2025. Finally, check the condition of the rear coil springs, as corrosion was noted in the June 2024 MOT, and ensure the rear wiper is fully functional following the 2026 advisory.
This 2015 Ford Grand C-Max is a 2.0L diesel model with 56,400 miles on the clock, which is notably lower than the model average of 8,104 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear, particularly regarding suspension bushes and braking components. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026, several advisories suggest that mechanical upkeep will be a recurring theme.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, brake pads, and tyres.
