2007 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AG07 LTT

The 2007 Ford S-MAX presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 243,329 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle cleared the 26 September 2024 test at 228,221 miles, also with no advisories. The pattern shows no worsening mechanical condition across the observed record. Mileage stands at 243,329 against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 12,807 miles per year and placing this example firmly in high-use territory for its age. The record shows a jump from 198,744 miles at the 20 September 2023 pass to 228,221 by September 2024, an accumulation near 29,500 miles in twelve months that exceeds the annual average and signals sustained motorway or commercial-style duty. The DVSA data itself is sparse on fault detail, with both failed entries on 11 September 2023 and 25 September 2024 showing no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the high mileage and age, as the clean MOT trail does not preclude hidden rust at sills or suspension mounting points. Front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement for wear, since the tester logged no advisories despite the car covering over 44,000 miles between 2023 and 2025. The repeated same-week fail-then-pass cycles at 198,622 and 228,207 miles suggest previous owners used the test lane to rectify minor presentation matters without delay, a sign of engaged if unremarkable upkeep. Given the odometer figure, budget for drivetrain and consumable renewal rather than assuming factory longevity from the clear certificate history.
