2014 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AF14 FVP

The 2014 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy following a pass on 25 July 2025 at 99,821 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 24 July 2025 at the same mileage, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either event, indicating the failure likely stemmed from a non-mechanical administrative or test-process issue rather than a fault with the vehicle. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,300 miles, consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old car. The records show clean passes on 17 October 2022 at 69,507 miles, 25 October 2023 at 80,459 miles, and 22 October 2024 at 89,653 miles, before the 2025 entries at 99,821 miles. The gap between October 2024 and July 2025 covered only 10,168 miles, a slightly lower than annual rate, and no rapid accumulation or standing gaps raise concern. No advisories or defects appear across the five-year MOT span, so the history gives no signal of recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission problems. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe rust, coil springs, and binding calipers, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not rule out latent wear the annual test did not capture. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the S-Max to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect showing in the data. Verify service history and inspect tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition in person before purchase.
