2014 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · YS14 XJA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on May 28 2026 at 109,625 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a rear windscreen wiper blade. This represents an improvement over the 2025 test, which flagged worn rear suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections, the recurring nature of mechanical advisories suggests components are only addressed once they approach failure limits. At 109,625 miles, the Grand C-Max averages approximately 9,135 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is consistent, showing a gap of 5,020 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,221 miles between June 2025 and 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle does not suffer from long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber seals and brake components. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension assembly, as the record shows worn trailing arm bushes in 2025 following surface corrosion advisories in early 2023. The front brake discs have a history of pitting and scoring noted in both 2022 and 2023, necessitating a physical check of remaining pad thickness and surface condition. Furthermore, the offside front inner track rod showed play in 2023, so the steering geometry should be verified to ensure no further play remains in the linkage.
