2018 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · WD18 USF

The 2018 Ford Grand C-Max presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 February 2026 at 44,412 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared its final test four days after a failed attempt on 20 February 2026 at 44,376 miles that also logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,552 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, which is low for this model age. The records show steady accumulation: 34,598 miles in February 2024, 40,110 miles in February 2025, and 44,412 miles by February 2026. The sparse test history contains only clean passes and two defect-free failures on the same days in 2025 and 2026, so the data gives little insight into wear patterns on consumables or suspension components. Low use of this nature can mask degraded rubber bushes or corroding brake calipers through lack of movement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low annual use and potential for prolonged standing. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles in February 2025 and February 2026 with no defects listed suggest the previous owner deferred paperwork rather than repairs, but offer no evidence of neglected mechanical care. Verify the undertray and sills for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often cannot fully access these on a ramp without stripping panels. Confirm the reason for the two defect-free failures with the testing station before purchase. The clean advisory record provides no warning signs on emissions or tyres, yet the low mileage means tyre sidewalls and wiper blades may have aged rather than worn. A pre-purchase check should prioritise cold-start behaviour and handbrake function after storage.
