2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · DC65 ASO

The 2016 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its four most recent MOT tests. The October 2024 test at 118,080 miles passed with no advisories, confirming the vehicle entered its tenth year in sound mechanical condition. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults, with every annual examination from 2021 to 2024 returning a clean pass. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 11,808 miles per year for a ten-year-old vehicle. The July 2021 test recorded 62,248 miles, rising to 74,317 by July 2022, then jumping to 100,837 at the October 2023 test after a fifteen-month gap. The final leap to 118,080 by October 2024 reflects roughly 17,000 miles in twelve months. The sparse but clean record gives no indication of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the mileage now exceeds 118,000. The absence of advisories means no binding calipers, excessive corrosion, or exhaust emission faults were flagged by testers. Previous owners appear to have maintained the car to pass standard without visible cost-cutting on tyres or wipers. Given the fault-free history, focus the viewing on underside structural integrity and drivetrain wear common to high-mileage S-Max units. Verify service records match the odometer and check for intermittent electrical faults not captured by MOT testing.
