2009 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · J21 YNY

The 2009 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 103,592 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 8 February 2022 through to the 2026 test returned a pass with no advisories logged. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical concerns, or structural corrosion flags across the five-year DVSA history supplied. Annual mileage sits at a modest level for a 17-year-old car. The record shows 69,964 miles at the 8 February 2022 test, rising to 85,422 by 6 February 2023, then 90,196 in February 2024, 96,870 in February 2025, and 103,592 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 6,700 miles per year over the captured period, consistent with the approximate 6,094 miles per annum lifetime average. No abrupt accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between entries; the clean sheet across all tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and statutory upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car despite the unblemished record. The S-Max shares the Ford EUCD platform and front subframe mounts with the Galaxy and Mondeo, where suspension bushes, rear coil springs, and sill seams collect road salt corrosion by this age. The tester logged nothing, but MOT passes with zero advisories on a 103,000-mile vehicle often mean wear items fell just inside tolerance on the day. Check the front lower arm bushes, brake disc lip depth, and exhaust emissions under load during any viewing. Verify the cambelt interval against Ford's 10-year or 125,000-mile schedule, since the record confirms no belt work and the unit is now past both markers. Confirm genuine mileage against service stamps, as the clean MOT trail gives no cause for alarm but offers no proof of internal drivetrain care.
