FORD S-MAX2014 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 3 September 2025 at 129,800 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the pattern of immediate failures followed by passes is noteworthy. The car failed tests in both 2024 and 2025 just weeks before the successful inspections, suggesting the previous owner only addressed defects when prompted by a failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage reflects a consistent usage pattern. At 129,800 miles over twelve years, the S-Max averages approximately 10,817 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for an MPV of this age. The vehicle covered roughly 11,735 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 11,237 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use rather than long periods ofກັບ, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake-related seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, given the high mileage and the nature of the recent MOT failures. While the latest record shows no defects, the high mileage puts significant stress on front-end control arm bushes and coil springs, which are prone to premature wear. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear subframe, as these are common failure points on older S-Max models that have travelled well over the 100,000-mile mark.
