2014 Ford S-MAX 2.2L Diesel · EX14 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 21 June 2025 at 149,080 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing subsequent tests shortly after initial failures, suggesting the owner addresses required repairs promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage is high for a 2014 model, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the odometer rose from 125,675 to 139,166 miles. A further 9,914 miles were covered in the year leading up to the June 2025 test. This consistent high-mileage usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bush wear over the last three years is atypical. This suggests either a very rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient with consumable wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that often escape MOT mentions until they become critical failures. Check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for leaks, as the high mileage puts significant stress on the chassis. Inspect the brake pads and discs for uneven wear and check the underside for surface corrosion, which is common on Ford models of this era regardless of the MOT outcome.
