2012 Ford Grand C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · SV12 CEX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 110,770 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate re-testing following initial failures. The failure on 10 February 2026 occurred just five miles prior to the pass, suggesting a minor adjustment or the replacement of a small consumable item that was rectified instantly before the successful re-test. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of over 9,000 miles recorded between June 2024 and January 2025, followed by a rapid accumulation of 15,653 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This recent spike indicates a period of high usage over the last twelve months, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain assemblies compared to the previous period of lower activity. Despite the clean records in the most recent tests, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components common to this model, specifically the wish arms and strut mounting bolts. Given the age of the vehicle and the recent increase in mileage, checking for corrosion on the exhaust system and rear sills is essential. The lack of advisories in the history suggests the previous owner has been proactive in addressing faults before they reached a critical point.
