2012 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FG12 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 7 June 2024 at 155,965 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. Between 6 June 2022 and 7 June 2024, the odometer rose from 134,361 to 155,965 miles, averaging roughly 10,800 miles per year. This steady usage indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of advisories across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests is unusual for a 14 year old vehicle with over 150,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should physically inspect the underside for structural corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Attention should also be paid to the drivetrain and brake disc thickness. Since the MOT history shows no flagged defects, it does not provide a complete picture of preventative maintenance. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical failure points for this engine age and mileage.
