2018 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · BP18 EKB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 30 December 2025 at 87,026 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in June 2024, the subsequent pass on the same day suggests that any identified faults were rectified immediately before registration. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The record shows a significant increase in activity between January 2025 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered 20,195 miles in just eleven months. This period of high-intensity use contrasts with the 10,114 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, suggesting the car is currently being used regularly, which often helps prevent the degradation of components associated with long periods of standing. Since the most recent tests show no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failure-related advisories, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components associated with the recent mileage surge. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake discs, as these often show wear after high-mileage cycles. Given the vehicle is approaching the 90,000-mile mark, checking for fluid leaks and the state of the drivetrain belt is prudent to ensure the maintenance trend remains positive.
