2013 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GN13 AAE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 April 2026 at 139,635 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently met testing standards following previous failures. While the record shows a failure in March 2026 at 139,622 miles, the subsequent pass just two weeks later suggests that a minor, easily rectifiable defect was addressed immediately, rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with 13,404 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 13,733 miles recorded between February 2025 and April 2026. This regular interval suggests the car has been driven frequently, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and brake components compared to long periods of stagnation, though it places standard wear on high-mile drivetrain and suspension assemblies. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to fatigue at this mileage threshold. Given the age and 140,000-mile mark, checking the control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to identify any perished rubber or leaks. Although the record shows no structural corrosion failures, a close look at the underside sills and mounting points remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last inspection.
