2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AO16 AOS

The vehicle displays an exemplary roadworthiness record with five consecutive clean passes, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. The most recent test conducted on 9 February 2026 at 55,352 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, confirming that the vehicle remains in full compliance with current safety standards. This consistent lack of failure points suggests that previous owners have adhered to a proactive rather than reactive maintenance schedule. The recorded mileage of 55,352 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 5,500 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a family-oriented vehicle like the Ford S-Max. The data shows a steady, incremental accumulation of mileage each year, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage patterns. This consistent usage profile is generally preferable to very low mileage vehicles that suffer from seized components due to prolonged storage, as the annual MOT testing has ensured the drivetrain and braking systems remain exercised. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber components and suspension bushes, as these items can perish due to age even if the vehicle has not covered high mileage. While the MOT history is clean, check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle sits for extended periods between drives. Verify the condition of the tyres for uneven wear patterns or sidewall cracking, as these are often the first signs of age-related degradation on low-mileage examples. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in the history provides a strong foundation, but a physical check of the undercarriage for any early signs of surface oxidation remains a prudent final step.
