2021 FORD S-MAX2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 103,887 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows no defects or advisories across the last two successful tests. The lack of flagged faults suggests the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards for safety and emissions. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle. Between 19 November 2024 and 9 January 2026, the odometer rose from 50,604 to 103,887 miles. This represents an increase of 53,283 miles in just over a year, averaging roughly 4,400 miles per month. Such intensive use typically indicates long-distance motorway commuting, which is generally less taxing on the engine than urban stop-start driving but accelerates wear on the chassis and drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables and suspension components. While the MOT record is clean, the rapid mileage climb puts significant pressure on brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes. You should check for uneven tyre wear and inspect the shock absorbers for leaks. Given the high mileage, verify the service history for evidence of timely oil changes and timing belt replacements, as the DVSA record only confirms roadworthiness and not the comprehensive mechanical health of the engine.
