2015 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · GX15 ADO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT compliance, with the most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 134,682 miles showing a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections over the last three years. The single failure recorded on 22 March 2024 at 114,411 miles suggests a minor non-compliance that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed later that same day. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 12,244 miles per year over the eleven years since its manufacture. This represents a higher-than-average usage pattern for a 2015 vehicle. The data shows a steady and predictable increase in mileage, with 10,000 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and 10,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on wear-and-tear components that typically degrade under heavy use. You should scrutinize the suspension system for worn bushes or leaking dampers and check the underside for structural corrosion. The high mileage also increases the likelihood of premature wear on the brake discs and calipers, so check for uneven thickness or binding. The drivetrain and engine components should also be evaluated closely. While the MOT record is clean, the high annual mileage puts additional stress on the clutch, flywheel, and various rubber hoses. A thorough check of the service history is recommended to ensure that oil changes and fluid replacements have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule to mitigate the risks associated with this level of usage.
