2012 Ford S-MAX Tita-UM X SP Tdci A 2.0L Diesel · EF61 KFR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record across the four most recent inspections. The latest test in February 2026 at 186,301 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a three-year period of clean passes since a failure in 2022, suggesting that the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements despite its high mileage. The mileage profile is high for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,300 miles per annum. There is a consistent pattern of usage between tests, such as the 24,693 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 18,392 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This regular use suggests long-distance motorway driving rather than short urban trips, which often benefits the engine health but places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. While the record shows no current advisories, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components associated with the 180,000-mile mark. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade at this mileage interval. Given the age and distance, the buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no binding or excessive thinning has occurred that the standard MOT test missed.
