2013 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AF63 UBN

The Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 11 February 2026 at 87,001 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The DVSA record shows a clean pass in the February 2026 test after an anomalous same-day failure on 11 February 2026 carrying no recorded defects, mirroring an identical pattern in February 2025 where a defect-free failure on 12 February preceded a pass on 13 February at 80,890 miles. Such paired failure-pass entries with zero defects suggest administrative or procedural issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The odometer sat at 75,202 miles for the February 2024 pass, rising to 80,890 by February 2025 and 87,001 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 5,700 to 6,100 miles added per year, below the 6,692 annual average implied by the 13-year lifespan, confirming light use. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data; the sparse record shows no advisories or defects across any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory capture in the history. The repeated zero-defect failures without mechanical cause warrant verification that the V5C and DVSA portal align on test authenticity. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions cannot be assumed sound solely from clean MOT lines on an 87,001-mile 2013 model. Prior owner care looks adequate for consumables, but the unexplained failure entries mean a physical underside check for corrosion is prudent before purchase.
