2015 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GX15 AAE

The Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 28 October 2025 at 119,012 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend across the supplied history remains stable, with the vehicle clearing its latest examination cleanly after two earlier same-day fail-and-pass pairs that listed no mechanical faults. In the August 2024 and August 2023 tests, the record shows initial failures at 104,606 and 90,468 miles respectively, each followed by a pass on the same date or within days without any defect entries, suggesting administrative or documentation anomalies rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 90,468 miles at the 28 August 2023 failure to 90,527 miles at the pass two days later, then to 104,606 miles by 23 August 2024, and finally 119,012 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 10,800 miles per annum, a modest yearly figure that implies gentle commuting rather than high-stress urban punishment. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation spikes nor extended dormancy, and the clean defect sheets across all entries indicate previous owners kept the car to a standard sufficient for statutory testing. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components on this S-Max. The tester noted no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet eleven years and 119,012 miles will naturally fatigue suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Examine the subframe and sills for rust, check the rear trailing arm bushes for play, and measure brake disc thickness and pad wear. The twin-clutch Powershift transmission fitted to many S-Max models warrants a road test for judder or delayed engagement, as the MOT data cannot confirm drivetrain health. The repeated fail entries with zero defects imply the former keeper resolved any test-house queries immediately, reflecting orderly ownership rather than neglected upkeep. Given the clean trajectory, the vehicle stands as a low-risk purchase subject to the usual pre-sale mechanical appraisal.
