2007 Ford S-MAX 2.5L Petrol · D2 GAP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a string of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 132,528 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have clearly proactively addressed any minor mechanical or safety issues before they could escalate into test failures or recurring advisory notes. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old Ford vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 16,503 miles, maintaining a steady annual increase of roughly 4,100 miles. This low-intensity usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or kept stationary, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age. While the digital record shows no historical faults, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of common S-Max weak points relevant to this age bracket. Focus on checking for structural corrosion on the rear sills and suspension mounting points, as these are prone to rust over two decades regardless of mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from components locking up. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-kept, but the age of the materials remains the primary factor for long-term reliability.
