2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FE60 ABN

The 2025‑11‑05 MOT at 132,216 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. All subsequent tests since 2022 have passed without recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance record despite recurring tyre wear. No structural or major mechanical failures have appeared in the latest assessment, suggesting the vehicle remains fit for use. The mileage has risen from 40,149 miles in February 2015 to 132,216 miles by November 2025, averaging about 8,264 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2015‑02‑11 failure (40,149 miles) and the 2015‑09‑11 pass (45,301 miles) shows a 5,152‑mile increase in seven months, indicating a period of accelerated driving. Apart from this short‑term spike, mileage accumulation has been steady each year, with no prolonged periods of inactivity evident. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake pads meet the 1.5 mm minimum thickness, and examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. The off‑side and near‑side tyres exhibit inner and outer edge wear noted in earlier tests, so a detailed tread depth and wear pattern check is essential. Confirm that the seat‑belt buckle functions correctly after the 2022 advisory, and inspect the outer sill covers and chassis for rust, while also ensuring the exhaust emissions comply with current limits. The recurring tyre wear and occasional brake pad advisories point to a need for attentive consumable maintenance, but the absence of structural or major mechanical failures in recent tests suggests the vehicle remains a viable purchase provided these items are verified in person.
