2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YP60 AAU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, exhibiting a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 November 2025 at 126,855 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This streak of clean records across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the common mechanical failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-medium usage profile, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 14,589 miles, showing steady annual accumulation of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles per interval. This regularity indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect which is beneficial for seals and braking components, yet it has also avoided the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension associated with high-mileage commuting. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer must account for age-related degradation inherent to a 16-year-old Ford S-Max. A physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as the MOT test only flags structural weakness once it becomes significant. You should also examine the rubber suspension bushes and control arm mounts; even with low mileage, these components often perish or crack over time. Checking the brake discs for pitting and ensuring calipers are not binding will provide a layer of assurance that the clean digital record cannot fully guarantee.
