2007 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · ET07 AAE

The 2007 Ford S‑Max tested on 2026‑03‑18 at 209,881 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The five consecutive MOTs from 2022 through 2026 all show passes with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a decline. Mileage climbed steadily from 175,562 miles on 2022‑03‑14 to 183,272 miles on 2023‑03‑13, then to 193,002 miles on 2024‑03‑07, reaching 200,812 miles on 2025‑03‑21 and finally 209,881 miles on 2026‑03‑18. Each annual increase averages roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles, consistent with normal use for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or sag, inspect the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and look for any structural rust around the chassis and wheel arches. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee future reliability, so a physical check of the exhaust system, steering components, and tire tread depth remains essential. Overall, the vehicle’s MOT history suggests careful upkeep, yet the high mileage and age mean that hidden wear on critical components may still be present. A thorough in‑person inspection focusing on the items listed will reveal whether the maintenance record translates into genuine mechanical soundness.
