2009 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Petrol · D90 BOY

The 2009 Ford S-Max presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 152,373 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening mechanical faults or recurring issues across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,963 miles, which is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent yearly use: 123,874 miles in August 2021, 130,968 in July 2022, 139,242 in July 2023, 146,454 in August 2024, and 152,373 in July 2025. The gaps between tests are under thirteen months each, with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults but clean, showing no consumable neglect or structural concerns logged by testers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 152,000-mile use. The MOT record flags no corrosion or binding calipers, yet testers issue no advisories only at point of test. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions against the claimed zero-defect history. Given five consecutive passes with no defects, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The absence of any failed items suggests no skipped consumable replacement or ignored mechanical risk. Confirm service history matches the mileage to validate the recorded care pattern.
