FORD S-MAX2011 · 2.0L Diesel

This 2011 Ford S-Max presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 31 March 2025 at 146,105 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,740 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with a notable jump of 12,801 miles between April 2021 and April 2022, followed by more moderate annual increases. The fact that the vehicle has reached 146,105 miles without any recorded failures on suspension, brakes, or steering suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. While the DVSA record is remarkably clean, a buyer should still focus on age-related wear that does not always trigger an MOT failure. At this mileage, the condition of the timing belt and water pump is the primary concern, as these are critical service items not explicitly detailed in MOT results. A physical inspection should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the presence of any surface corrosion on the chassis, which is common for vehicles of this era. The lack of recurring faults suggests the mechanical integrity is sound. However, checking the service history for oil change intervals and transmission fluid flushes will confirm if the internal engine health matches the external roadworthiness. Given the absence of any recorded brake or tyre advisories over the last five years, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a state of readiness far above the average for a fifteen-year-old MPV.
