2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CV60 XAX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 July 2025 at 131,034 miles passed with no recorded defects, marking a significant shift from previous years where the vehicle failed its initial inspections. This clean sheet on the latest test suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding issues that were identified in earlier examinations. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 14,344 miles, indicating a period of higher intensity, followed by a 12,276-mile interval between June 2024 and July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not being left stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of brake calipers due to surface corrosion. While the most recent result is positive, the failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific mechanical lapses that require attention. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as these are common points of failure on the S-Max of this era. Given the history of failures, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and mounting points is essential to ensure that the recent passes are not merely masking underlying structural decay.
