2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Petrol · EA60 WPV

The current roadworthiness of this Ford S-Max is stable, though the maintenance history reveals a recurring pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in November 2025 resulted in a pass after an initial failure, which highlights a tendency to address critical safety items only when forced by the MOT process. While the vehicle is currently compliant, the history of repeated failures for consumable items suggests the previous owner deferred essential maintenance until the last possible moment. The recorded mileage of 108,306 miles over sixteen years reflects a consistent and moderate usage pattern of roughly 6,700 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which indicates the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout its life. This steady accumulation of mileage is typical for a family vehicle of this age and suggests the drivetrain has not suffered from the long-term inactivity that often leads to internal component degradation or fluid stagnation. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The history shows a persistent issue with corrosion on the rear sub-frame and suspension arms, which, while not yet critical, requires close monitoring to ensure it does not compromise structural integrity. Additionally, the recurring reports of pitted brake discs and uneven tyre wear suggest potential alignment issues or a lack of attention to steering geometry. You should specifically check the condition of all four tyres for signs of inner-edge wear and verify that the rear sub-frame remains free of significant scaling or rot. Given the history of split constant velocity boots in 2022 and 2024, a physical check of all drive shaft gaiters for grease leaks or perishing rubber is essential before purchase.
