FORD S-MAX2010 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 131,185 miles passed with no defects recorded. This streak of clean results indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, proactively addressing mechanical and safety issues before they could trigger a failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between November 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 28,594 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,100 miles annually. There is no evidence of erratic usage or long periods of stagnation that typically lead to premature seal failure or seized brake calipers. The gradual mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has seen regular, moderate use, which is generally beneficial for the health of drivetrain components and suspension systems compared to stationary low-mileage cars. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common failure points for this age and model. Given the 131,185-mile mark, focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show wear at this stage despite clean MOT records. Check for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a critical threshold. Additionally, verify the brake discs for deep scoring or uneven wear to ensure the clean test reflects the current physical state of the braking system.
