2017 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CE17 HTD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness condition, showing a clear trend of improvement in recent years. The most recent test on May 1, 2026 at 75,240 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in 2025 and 2023, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a sufficiently high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,360 miles per year. The data shows steady usage intervals, moving from 27,107 miles in February 2020 to 75,240 miles by May 2026. This regular use suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and seals, though the low mileage relative to the age generally limits overall wear on the drivetrain components. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system, as the history reveals a recurring issue with wear and corrosion. The records from 2020, 2022, and 2024 consistently flagged thin pads and pitted or scored brake discs, particularly on the offside. While these appear to have been rectified recently, a physical inspection should check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers to ensure no issue persists. Additionally, the 2021 failure regarding multiple perished and low-traction tyres indicates a past lapse in maintenance, so the current state of all tyre sidewalls and wiper blades should be verified for cracking or effective clearing.
