2017 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AF17 KMY

The 2017 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its available MOT history. The most recent test on 30 October 2023 at 76,193 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle met statutory requirements at that point. With no failures or flagged wear items in the data, the maintenance record shows consistent compliance rather than a worsening or resolving fault pattern. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,466 miles per year. The records show 64,710 miles on 16 February 2022, 65,540 miles on 7 October 2022, and 76,193 miles on 30 October 2023. That equates to only 830 miles in eight months to October 2022, then 10,653 miles in the following twelve months. The sparse three-entry history limits insight into earlier care, though the clean results imply basic scheduled upkeep was not neglected. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection before purchase, as the MOT snapshot excludes pre-2022 entries and cannot reveal latent corrosion, tired suspension bushes, or worn brake discs not yet at test thresholds. The absence of advisories means no specific mechanical risks such as binding calipers or exhaust deterioration were flagged by testers. Given the S-Max's age, scrutiny of subframe integrity and rear coil springs remains prudent. The 30 October 2023 test is now over two and a half years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The next owner must arrange a fresh MOT and full service, since roadworthiness cannot be assumed from a stale clean certificate alone.
