2011 FORD S-MAX2.0L Diesel

The 2011 Ford S-Max presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 41,717 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with zero advisories from the January 2022 test onwards. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the available history. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 30,032 miles in January 2022 to 41,717 miles by January 2026, an average of roughly 2,900 miles per year. Each annual test shows a modest increment of between 2,500 and 3,600 miles, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories but consistently clean, indicating the car was likely used for short local journeys and stored for extended periods. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points, as low-mileage vehicles left standing often develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen in a pass result. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for seizing after long idle spells, despite no binding being flagged in the record. The absence of exhaust emissions or structural integrity failures across all five tests suggests sound underlying care by previous owners. Verify service history against the low mileage and confirm timing belt replacement intervals, since age rather than wear drives that risk on this S-Max.
