2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · KR60 AEX

The 2010 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 125,800 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 26 October 2023 at 105,550 miles, reversed three days later on 30 October 2023 at 105,566 miles with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair gap. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 7,862 miles per year for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 93,671 miles in November 2022, rising to 105,566 miles by October 2023, then 115,286 miles in October 2024 and 125,800 miles in October 2025. The roughly 10,000-mile yearly increments are consistent and show no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with every pass recording no defects and the failed entry carrying no listed faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and 125,800 miles. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of recurring wear items or structural concerns, but sixteen years of use will have stressed consumable components that testers did not flag as advisory. The October 2023 fail with no defects suggests the previous owner addressed the issue promptly or the rejection was procedural. Overall, the history implies disciplined annual testing and no skipped upkeep, though in-person checks on exhaust emissions and tyre condition remain prudent before purchase.
