2014 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · EY14 TVF

This 2014 Ford S-Max has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across all five tests, including the most recent pass on 5 March 2026 at 145,415 miles. The vehicle’s roadworthiness trend remains stable, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or progressive wear issues. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners addressed any minor concerns promptly, though this does not preclude hidden wear—such as suspension bush deterioration or brake caliper binding—that may not have been testable at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 145,415 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 12,118 miles per annum, which is above the average for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2023 (111,883 miles) and 2024 (124,078 miles) tests, a 12,195-mile increase in a single year. While this could indicate consistent use, it also raises the likelihood of accelerated wear on high-stress components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The regularity of MOT passes without gaps suggests the vehicle was driven rather than stored, which may have contributed to the higher mileage. Given the lack of advisories, the most critical areas for a prospective buyer to examine in person would be the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The brakes, though never failed, should be inspected for uneven disc thickness, warping, or binding calipers, especially given the elevated mileage. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant close scrutiny, as the vehicle’s usage history suggests they may have been replaced less frequently than recommended. Finally, a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion—particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system—is essential, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age and mileage.
