2011 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AS07 TAM

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-23 at 110,680 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests from 2024-11-21 (104,255 miles) and 2023-11-29 (99,108 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent compliance. However, the 2023-11-24 failure at 99,099 miles—despite no defects recorded—suggests potential administrative or procedural anomalies, though this does not directly impact mechanical integrity. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests implies no escalating concerns. The mileage progression shows a steady annual average of ~7,379 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps exist between tests, particularly between 2023-10-17 (98,659 miles) and 2023-11-29 (99,108 miles), a span of 42 days with only 449 miles logged, which may indicate infrequent use or periods of inactivity. The lack of rapid mileage spikes reduces immediate wear risk, but the 14-month gap since the last MOT (2025-10-23) raises questions about ongoing maintenance practices. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, common wear points in vehicles of this age, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper function, as these components often degrade over time. The exhaust system and corrosion-prone areas, such as underbody panels, warrant scrutiny due to potential rust from prolonged exposure. While the MOT history lacks critical failures, the absence of recent testing necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued roadworthiness.
