2007 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · DS57 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-20 recorded a pass at 136,638 miles, but the same date includes a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or unresolved issues. Previous tests from 2024-12-14 and 2023-12-13 showed consistent passes with no defects, indicating stable maintenance up to 2024. The 2026 records lack specific technical findings, leaving the current roadworthiness status ambiguous without further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 136,638 miles at 19 years old aligns with average annual usage of 7,191 miles. However, the gap between the 2023-12-13 test (123,997 miles) and 2024-12-14 test (127,179 miles) shows minimal driving, followed by a sharp increase to 136,638 miles by 2026-01-20. This suggests possible periods of inactivity or recent intensified use, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions systems. No structural corrosion, brake disc wear, or suspension faults were flagged in the recorded tests, but the absence of defect details limits confidence. A buyer should verify the condition of binding calipers, brake discs, and exhaust system integrity, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Additionally, inspecting the vehicle’s undercarriage for rust or damage to the chassis is critical, given the age and mileage. The MOT history does not reveal recurring mechanical issues, but the lack of detailed findings necessitates a physical inspection for hidden faults.
