2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GN10 AEZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-01-10 MOT at 133,177 miles recording no defects. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. The 2022-12-23 test failed but no defects were recorded, which may indicate a procedural error or minor non-compliance resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the documented history. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,324 miles annually. Tests are spaced consistently, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2022-12-23 failure occurred just one mile before the 2023-01-03 test, raising questions about the accuracy of the recorded data but not indicating systemic issues. The absence of defects in 13 consecutive tests (excluding the 2022 failure) suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the lack of detailed fault reports limits deeper analysis. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be inspected for corrosion or wear, as older vehicles may develop hidden issues. While no faults were recorded, the 2022 failure without defects warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history to confirm repairs were completed. Structural integrity and body corrosion, especially in high-moisture areas, should be assessed to ensure long-term reliability.
