Verdict
Monospace compact de 5 ou 7 places, noté 5 étoiles à Euro NCAP en 2010 (barème d'origine, plus ancien). Sur le 1.5 TDCi 120 ch, CarVerif signale une usure précoce de l'embrayage et des rappels (volant moteur bi-masse, direction assistée) ; GetCarWise relève des filtres à particules et vannes EGR encrassés sur les diesels. GetCarWise recommande les modèles 2015-2018 en 1.5 TDCi manuelle et déconseille la boîte PowerShift sans entretien documenté.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 118 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (diesel)€124
1.5 TDCi 120 version: combined consumption of 4.6 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.347 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
4.6 × 1.15 × 2.347 € × 10 = €124
Diesel price: French national average on 7 October 2026.
- Insurance€58
Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.
- Maintenance€24
Servicing and wear parts (tyres, brakes) for 12,000 km a year, per month.

Inspection checklist
Ford Grand C-Max II — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier chez Ford, avec le numéro de série, les rappels effectués (volant moteur bi-masse, direction assistée).
- Essayer l'embrayage : démarrage en côte, patinage, point d'embrayage franc, vibrations au démarrage.
- Contrôler le voyant du filtre à particules et demander si la voiture a surtout roulé en ville.
- Sur une PowerShift, exiger la preuve des vidanges de boîte et essayer les passages de rapports à froid.
- Vérifier la configuration 5 ou 7 places annoncée, et l'état des silentblocs de suspension.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels du volant moteur bi-masse et de la direction assistée ont-ils été effectués ?
- L'embrayage ou le volant moteur ont-ils été remplacés, et à quel kilométrage ?
- La boîte PowerShift a-t-elle eu des vidanges, et la voiture a-t-elle surtout roulé en ville ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
