2018 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · EY68 LDD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 4 February 2026 at 33,364 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just five days prior on 29 January 2026 at 33,362 miles. This specific sequence suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure compliance, and the subsequent lack of advisories across the last two tests indicates the vehicle is currently in good mechanical condition. The mileage profile is significantly low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,170 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, with 5,875 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,705 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between recorded tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on components of age rather than high-mile wear. Given the low usage, check for sidewall cracking on tyres and pitting on brake discs which often occur when vehicles are driven infrequently. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishation, as these can become brittle over time regardless of distance travelled. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, suggesting the chassis integrity has remained well-preserved throughout its service life.
