2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · WV16 ACF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a successful test on 09 July 2025 at 87,291 miles. This result indicates a stable trend in roadworthiness, as the car passed just one day after a previous failure. While the history shows instances of failure in 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent report suggests that any identified issues have been addressed and the vehicle currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. A significant gap of 14,132 miles occurred between the May 2024 test at 73,159 miles and the July 2025 test at 87,291 miles. This rate suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals and mechanical components from seizing. The data remains sparse but linear, showing the vehicle has been driven consistently over the recorded testing intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely caused the failures in March 2024 and May 2024. Since the record does not list specific defects for those failures, it is vital to check for signs of worn suspension bushes, perished coil springs, or thinning brake discs. Given the age of the Ford Grand C-Max, close examination of the structural integrity for corrosion around the rear wheel arches and sills is also necessary. Check for any binding calipers or uneven tyre wear to ensure the recent pass was not merely masking a recurring mechanical issue that may soon reappear.
