2009 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · AV59 MYJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 7 April 2025 at 119,979 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved passes following minor-test failures. While there were recorded failures in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate success in subsequent tests suggests that specific issues were identified and rectified rather than representing a systemic mechanical or structural decline. The mileage profile is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan. Between April 2023 at 103,568 miles and March 2024 at 110,941 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, followed by another interval of approximately 9,000 miles leading into the latest test. This steady, low-annual accumulation suggests moderate use, which typically reduces the strain on drivetrain components compared to high-mileage counterparts. Despite the lack of recorded adviseories on the most recent certificate, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the age of the vehicle, it is essential to check for way rubber bushes and signs of corrosion on artwork arms. The buyer should also verify the nature of the recent failures to ensure that the repairs made in 2024 and 2025 were comprehensive solutions rather than temporary fixes for recurring mechanical faults.
