2014 FORD S-MAX ZETEC TDCI 1402.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean contemporary history. The most recent MOT test on 17 May 2025 at 131,946 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at 131,879 miles. This isolated failure likely involved a minor administrative or minor consumable issue that was rectified immediately, indicating that the core mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle currently meets passing standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression over the years, with 23,220 miles covered between April 2019 and October 2021, and another 24,367 miles recorded between July 2023 and May 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components, seals, and the engine braking system. Given the lack of recurring mechanical advisories in the digital record, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear common to the Ford S-Max platform. A buyer should examine the front control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. Additionally, check brake discs for uneven wear and inspect for surface corrosion on the rear sills, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out these areas unless they reach a failure threshold.
