2015 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GX15 AAO

The 2015 Ford S-Max presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 172,576 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the latest pass following a clean 2025 test and no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. Mileage stands at 172,576 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 15,689 miles per year and placing this vehicle firmly in high-use territory for its class. The records show a jump from 132,706 miles at the December 2023 tests to 150,478 miles by the January 2025 failure, then 150,600 at the pass two days later, and finally 172,576 by January 2026. The sparse but clean record gives little detail on consumable wear, though the two failed tests in 2023 and 2025 both listed no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and age. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories in the MOT data is reassuring, but standing water ingress and undertray rust on high-mileage S-Max models is common and unseen by the tester. Verify the reason for the two same-day failure and pass pairs in December 2023 and January 2025 with the selling garage, as no defects were recorded yet the car failed. Confirm service history matches the 21,976-mile accumulation between January 2025 and January 2026 to validate drivetrain care.
