2016 Ford S-MAX Titanium X Sport Tdci 2.0L Diesel · CVZ 3529

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass at 84,055 miles on 25 October 2024. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the most recent inspection indicates that the vehicle is currently in good mechanical health. While the history shows two instances of initial test failures in 2022 and 2023, these were rectified immediately within a ten-day window, suggesting that the owner addressed minor compliance issues promptly rather than neglecting necessary repairs. The recorded mileage of 84,055 over a ten-year lifespan reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 8,400 miles per annum. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for regular commuting or family transport rather than remaining stationary for extended periods, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. The lack of significant mileage spikes or long gaps in the MOT history points to a predictable service life, provided the previous owner adhered to a standard oil and filter change interval alongside these annual inspections. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often show signs of wear on S-Max models of this age that may not always trigger an advisory until they reach a critical state. Given that the recent MOTs show no defects, the primary concern remains the condition of the drivetrain and the dual-mass flywheel, which are common wear items on the TDCI engine. Check for any vibrations at idle or hesitation under load, as these symptoms would not necessarily be captured by the MOT test criteria but will impact long-term reliability.
