2007 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AG07 MEV

The 2007 Ford S-Max shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 10 September 2022 at 114,969 miles. The most recent test noted no defects, and the preceding 2021 test also passed without advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 6 September 2022 at 114,914 miles where the DVSA system logged no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault, immediately corrected four days later. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,051 miles, typical for a 19-year-old vehicle. Between the 11 September 2021 pass at 108,019 miles and the September 2022 tests, the car covered only 6,950 miles. The tight cluster of 2022 entries at 114,914 and 114,969 miles indicates the owner addressed the failure promptly. Sparse history beyond these three entries gives limited visibility of earlier upkeep, but the absence of recorded advisories implies no outstanding wear items were flagged by testers in this period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unseen years before 2021. The clean record provides no evidence of corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet nineteen years of use can hide deteriorated subframe mounts or binding calipers not captured in a pass with no defects. Verify the reason for the 6 September 2022 failure with the original VT30 certificate, since the nil-defect log is unusual. Confirm current tyre tread, exhaust emissions, and wiper condition in person, as these consumables fall outside the sparse MOT data and may now require replacement.
