Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
When inspecting this specific silver Grand C-Max, focus heavily on the tyres and suspension. The MOT history shows consistent issues with tyres being worn on edges, cracked, or having sidewall damage across multiple years (2024 and 2026). This could indicate alignment issues or irregular driving habits.
Ask the seller for evidence that the tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction noted in January 2026 has been professionally rectified. You should also check the service history to see how the 1.5L diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt intervals, which are critical as the vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile mark.
The 1499cc diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though running costs will depend on the driver's annual mileage. As a 2015 model, the tax band and insurance group will be mid-range for a family MPV.
Maintenance costs may be slightly elevated due to the frequency of tyre replacements seen in the MOT records. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including regular oil changes and potential attention to the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) if the vehicle is used for short urban trips.
A priority inspection for this vehicle is the tyre and wheel setup. The 2024 and 2026 MOT records specifically mention tyres being 'worn on edge', 'feathered', or 'close to the legal limit'. Check all four tyres for uneven wear, which may suggest the need for a full wheel alignment or suspension component replacement.
Additionally, verify the functionality of the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) following its failure in early 2026. Finally, check the coolant levels and look for any signs of leaks, as 'coolant low' was an advisory/failure point in the most recent January 2026 test.
This 2015 Ford Grand C-Max has covered 99,510 miles since its registration in June 2015. The MOT history reveals frequent issues related to tyre condition and wear, alongside a recent failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system. With mileage significantly higher than the model average of 8,104 per year, buyers should factor in the higher wear expected on a high-use diesel vehicle.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures being headlamps, brake pads, and tyres.
