2016 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.5L Diesel · YW16 CUH

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-27 recorded a minor defect: nearside front seat belt webbing slightly damaged or frayed. This is a safety-related issue requiring immediate attention, as seat belts are critical for occupant protection. No other defects were noted at this inspection, and the vehicle passed. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of child seat-related issues, particularly from 2021 to 2023, where fitted child seats obstructed full inspection of adult seat belts. These were not classified as defects but highlight potential long-term wear on the belt mechanisms due to frequent use with child seats. A 2023 MOT also noted an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting possible alignment or suspension wear. Brake components showed concerns in 2021, including thin rear brake pads and a pitted brake disc, but these were not repeated in subsequent inspections. The 2024-11-27 MOT was entirely defect-free, indicating a period of stable condition. However, the 2025-11-27 defect suggests a potential regression in seat belt integrity, which may reflect ongoing wear or improper maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 69,670 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 6,967 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
