Our Verdict

Proceed with caution but generally a sen

When inspecting this specific white 1.0L petrol Grand C-Max, focus on the tyre condition. The history shows recurring issues with tyre wear and structural integrity, so ensure all four tyres have ample tread and no sidewall damage.

Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the brake fluid, as the July 2026 MOT flagged that it is starting to change colour. While the 2024 MOT had no defects, the subsequent advisories suggest that routine consumable replacement may be due. Check the windscreen wiper functionality as well, given the 2025 failure for a defective blade.

The 999cc petrol engine is typically positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for a vehicle of this size. Fuel economy will depend on load and driving style, but the small engine displacement suggests lower running costs compared to larger diesel variants.

Maintenance costs for this model often involve consumables like tyres and brake components, which have appeared in the MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, primarily driven by fuel and scheduled servicing.

Pay close attention to the tyres; the 2023 failure for a 'lump caused by separation' and the 2026 advisory for a 'cut tyre' indicate that tyre quality and condition are recurring points of concern for this vehicle. Check the tread depth and look for any uneven wear on the edges.

Additionally, inspect the brake fluid condition and the windscreen wipers. The MOT history specifically notes a defective offside front wiper in 2025 and changing brake fluid colour in 2026. Finally, check the overall tyre health to ensure no further structural issues like the one seen in 2023 are present.

This 2016 Ford Grand C-Max (YP16WHM) has covered 75,499 miles since its first registration in April 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues, including a failure in 2023 due to worn edges and a structural lump, as well as a recent advisory for a cut tyre. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 8,104 miles per year.

Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, brake pads, and tyres.
