2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GN10 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean testing record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 June 2025 at 137,446 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed necessary mechanical requirements without allowing the vehicle to accumulate recurring advisory faults. The mileage pattern averages approximately 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with a typical usage profile for a 16-year-old MPV. The data shows a consistent increase in mileage, with 17,783 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 5,917 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The single failure in June 2023 at 113,771 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed the retest nine miles later without any recorded defects, indicating a minor issue was quickly rectified. Given the clean recent history, a buyer should focus on the wear and tear components common to this age and mileage bracket. At 137,000 miles, a physical inspection should target the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished, as these often degrade on older family vehicles. While the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion or brake issues, an underside check of the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last test. The brakes should also be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers to ensure the high mileage has not stressed the braking system.
