Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2009 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy on its most recent test, passing without defect on 21 May 2024 at 182,432 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of records, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The vehicle carries a clean test sheet on its latest examination. Annual mileage sits at a typical 10,731 miles for a 17-year-old car. The records show 175,811 miles in May 2022, 179,099 at the May 2023 pass, and 182,432 by May 2024. That is roughly 3,300 miles per year across the documented period, well below the lifetime average and suggesting reduced recent use. The data is sparse, with only three passes and two failed tests showing zero recorded defects. The two failures on 16 May 2024 and 12 May 2023 list no defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission problems appear in the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the age and 182,432-mile count. Previous owners kept the test history clean of advisories, implying basic upkeep met minimum standards. Standing periods implied by low recent mileage can age tyres and perish rubber components. Verify tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust before purchase.
