FORD S-MAX2016 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2016 Ford S-Max presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 88,304 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT testing regime over the past five years. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,830 miles per year against the 88,304 miles recorded. The records show steady annual use: 39,444 miles in June 2021, rising to 49,604 by May 2022, 62,943 by July 2023, 74,368 by June 2024, and 88,304 by June 2025. No excessive gaps or sudden accumulation spikes occur between tests, and the clean sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept the car to a standard that satisfied annual inspection without flagged wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of advisories means testers noted no worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or thinning brake discs, yet items such as tyre condition and wiper blades fall outside mandatory failure below threshold and may degrade between tests. At 88,304 miles the S-Max is due for age-related checks on coil springs, drop links, and exhaust hangers that a road test would confirm. Given the fault-free record, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to pass standard with no deferred defects. The buyer should verify service history independently and examine underside structural integrity for rust not captured by MOT, particularly around sills and suspension mounts on this Ford platform.
