2014 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AF14 FTX

The 2014 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at 149,825 miles on 2 February 2026. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the four preceding annual tests likewise returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Mileage sits high for a twelve-year-old car at 149,825 miles, averaging roughly 12,485 miles per year. The record shows 139,660 miles tested on 21 February 2023, rising to 147,747 by 14 February 2024, then 149,666 on 17 February 2025, and 149,825 in February 2026. Annual accumulation dropped sharply from about 8,000 miles (2023 to 2024) to under 200 miles in the last year, implying the car entered limited use. A failed test on 20 February 2023 at 139,629 miles was followed by a pass the next day at 139,660 miles with no defects listed, suggesting a administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious fault. The sparse MOT data gives no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the age and high total mileage. The near-dormant last year warrants checking for seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded fluids from standing. Previous owners kept the S-Max to a consistent test-pass standard with no recorded neglect of consumables or mechanical items. The clean advisory history implies basic upkeep was maintained, though the lack of detailed faults means in-person verification of drivetrain wear remains prudent before purchase.
