FORD S-MAX2018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, maintaining a stable mechanical history throughout its service life. The most recent test conducted on 3 October 2025 at 102,908 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes over five consecutive years suggests that the previous owners have maintained basic mechanical standards and that the vehicle has not suffered from recurring structural issues or significant component degradation. The mileage pattern indicates consistent high-frequency usage, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. Between September 2021 at 36,046 miles and September 2022 at 53,867 miles, the car covered roughly 17,800 miles. The usage accelerated further in the final period, with 16,614 miles recorded between the 2024 and most recent tests. This regular accumulation typically reflects long-distance motorway driving, which is generally less taxing on drivetrain and clutch components than frequent short-distance city cycles. While the MOT record shows no flagged faults, an in-person inspection must focus on components subject to wear on a vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue or perished rubber, as these often reach the end of their life at this stage. Given the high mileage, the condition of the brake discs and pads should be verified for thinning or uneven wear, alongside a check for any oil leaks from the engine or turbo seals that might not have triggered an MOT failure.
