2015 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · CV65 DLE

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 2 September 2025 at 21,503 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record over the last five testing cycles. This suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances without the recurring failures that typically plague neglected aging vehicles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,955 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 11,682 miles and September 2025 at 21,503 miles, the car covered only 9,821 miles. This low usage pattern indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and primary braking components. However, the long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may have sat stationary, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that an MOT test cannot fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. Check for perished rubber parts such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, and tyre lines, which often crack from age regardless of distance traveled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use prevents the pads from cleaning the metal surface. While the MOT record shows no structural issues, a close look at the underbody for surface rust remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental damage.
