2015 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · EN64 VFX

The vehicle's mechanical roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of stability and improvement rather than a worsening trend. This assessment is anchored by the most recent test on 2025-07-10, which was conducted at 89,085 miles and passed with no recorded defects. The MOT records from 2023 to 2022 show a consistent progression of passing tests, with the most recent inspection occurring in 2022 at 51,893 miles. This sequence indicates that the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness over a 3-year period without experiencing a sudden drop in performance or critical failures. The mileage accumulation is relatively balanced across the vehicle's lifespan, with the 2015 Ford S-MAX averaging approximately 8,099 miles per year. While the 2023 test at 59,969 miles is the highest recorded figure, the gap between this and the earlier 2022 test of 51,893 miles is negligible, suggesting that the owner has maintained the car at a steady pace without rapid acceleration of wear. The absence of any gaps in the log from 2021 to 2022 implies that the owner has performed routine inspections and repairs consistently, avoiding the accumulation of significant wear that would typically be observed in a vehicle of this age. Given the current status, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components rather than relying on the MOT record alone. The most significant risk identified is the offside rear tail light cover, which has suffered from a broken edge and sharp edges that pose a safety hazard. While the 2021 test confirmed this defect, the absence of other mechanical faults suggests the vehicle may still be drivable. The buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers to ensure the chassis remains structurally sound, as these components are critical for handling and safety.
