2012 Ford Grand C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YY61 LFN

The 2012 Ford Grand C‑Max remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 27 November 2023 at 103,059 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable; there are no recurring faults in the record, and the vehicle passed successive checks within a year. The single failed entry on 17 January 2023 appears to be an administrative anomaly, as the same mileage shows a subsequent pass on the same day. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle’s age. From 86,391 miles in January 2022 to 97,342 miles in January 2023 represents 10,951 miles over 12 months, then 5,717 miles to 103,059 miles over the next ten months. The annual average of roughly 7,300 miles aligns with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old car, and there are no sudden spikes or gaps that would suggest irregular driving patterns or neglect. When inspecting the vehicle in person, focus on components that typically wear between MOTs. Check tyre tread depth, sidewalls and pressure; inspect brake discs and pads for wear or unevenness; examine suspension bushings, coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leakage. Verify steering linkage and rack for play or corrosion. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, rust or damage, and confirm that the catalytic converter is intact. Underbody panels should be free of excessive rust, especially around wheel arches and the chassis. Finally, confirm that the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid levels are correct, and that the battery is secure and the alternator is functioning. These checks will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical and structural integrity remains in line with the clean MOT record.
