2013 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CU63 JHV

The 2013 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 89,568 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 89,565 miles shows no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded correction rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every test without advisories, so the maintenance trend is steady with no worsening pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 89,568 against a 13-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,890 miles per year. The September 2022 test at 74,261 miles and the September 2023 test at 79,254 miles show light annual use of about 5,000 miles. Coverage then jumps to a January 2025 pass at 85,574 miles and the January 2026 pass at 89,568 miles, a gap of roughly 16 months with only 4,000 miles added. The sparse but clean record gives no evidence of heavy drivetrain strain or neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low yearly use, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion unseen by the MOT. The absence of advisories on exhaust emissions and structural integrity is reassuring, yet the 2026 duplicate test entry warrants confirmation that no suppressed fault was cleared before the pass. Given the fault-free history, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify service invoices to confirm timing belts and fluid changes, since MOT data alone does not capture such internals on this S-Max.
