Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Verify whether the advisories from September 2022 regarding the nearside front shock absorber oil misting and the deteriorated CV boot were addressed, as these are common wear items. Review the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has had regular oil changes, which is critical for longevity at this mileage.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the upcoming need for routine consumables. Check for any evidence of recent work that aligns with the mileage increase from 122,417 in 2024 to 128,357 in 2025.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though fuel economy will vary based on load. As a 2010 model, it will fall into a standard tax bracket for its emissions class, and insurance groups for the S-Max are generally moderate for its size.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve suspension components and exhaust repairs. Budget for annual servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Pay close attention to the nearside front suspension and drive shaft, referencing the 2022 advisories for the shock absorber and CV boot. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and check the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the S-Max model range.
Check the engine bay for leaks and ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is functioning correctly, particularly if the vehicle has been used for short city trips rather than motorway cruising.
This grey 2010 Ford S-Max 2.0L diesel has covered 128,357 miles. It features a stable MOT history with five consecutive passes and very few recorded defects. Its annual mileage is slightly below the model average of 8,532 miles.
The S-Max has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with aggregate data highlighting headlamps, suspension arms, and exhausts as common failure points.
