2014 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GF14 AAO

The 2014 Ford S-Max demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-04 assessment at 68,349 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s clean MOT history suggests the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the absence of advisories limits insight into minor wear patterns. The mileage of 68,349 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,696 annual miles, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage aligns with the vehicle’s MOT intervals, which show gradual accumulation rather than rapid wear. Notably, the 2022-07-04 test at 59,896 miles was followed by a 760-mile increase by 2022-11-21, then a 2,469-mile rise to 63,125 miles by 2023-09-11. These intervals suggest sporadic use, potentially reflecting periods of inactivity, though no corrosion or structural issues were flagged. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can sometimes mask wear in static components. The brake discs and calipers warrant checking for uneven wear, while the exhaust system should be assessed for hidden corrosion. Despite the clean MOT record, the lack of detailed advisories means a physical inspection is crucial to confirm the vehicle’s overall condition beyond mandated tests.
