2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · EO16 BFE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 July 2025 at 85,200 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle without allowing minor issues to escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2023 at 59,395 miles and July 2024 at 76,429 miles, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in just sixteen months. However, the usage returned to a more moderate pace in the final year leading up to the latest test. This regularity in mileage suggests the car is used regularly, which helps prevent the brake corrosion and seal degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. While the record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for an S-Max of this age. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue despite a clean MOT record. Given the mileage, verifying the state of the brake discs for thinning and checking for any surface rust on the exhaust system is prudent to ensure the clean test history reflects the current state of the underbody.
