2009 Ford S-MAX 2.2L Diesel · AF59 KAU

The 2009 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 120,487 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 11 October 2022 at 95,937 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at 95,939 miles and no defects listed either time, which points to an administrative or minor pre-check correction rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,087 miles, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, low accumulation: 95,939 miles in October 2022, 99,824 in October 2023, 104,687 in October 2024, and 120,487 by October 2025. The jump of nearly 16,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests is the largest in the sequence and suggests heavier use in that year, though still within normal bounds. No standing gaps appear; the car was tested every autumn without lapse. No advisories or defects were ever recorded across the clean passes, so the history gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. The lack of flagged items implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still verify in person that subframe and sills are free of structural rust, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and confirm the coil springs and wishbone bushes show no age-related cracking. Given the clean MOT trail and ordinary mileage, this S-Max reads as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint. The single 2022 failure with immediate pass and zero defects recorded warrants no further action beyond standard pre-sale inspection of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades.
