Is the 2019 Grand C-Max getting worse?

2024	82.6% -5.7 vs same-age

FAQs

Is a 2019 Ford Grand C-Max reliable?

2019-registered examples passed 82.1% of their MOT tests (3,231 tests, 2023–2025), -6.3 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 7 years old with a median 32,490 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 Grand C-Max?

The median tested example shows 32,490 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
