2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FE60 RWO

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 13 November 2025 at 161,996 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the most recent test indicates the S-MAX currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This clean bill of health suggests the previous owner addressed any underlying issues promptly, maintaining the vehicle to a consistent standard over the last three years. The recorded mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,125 miles annually. Between the November 2022 test at 124,122 miles and the November 2023 test at 135,800 miles, the car covered 11,678 miles. The following year, from November 2023 to November 2024, it added 13,133 miles, and the most recent year saw a slight reduction to 13,063 miles. This steady, predictable accumulation points to regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high-mileage commercial duty. A notable anomaly exists in the record from 7 November 2024, where the vehicle failed at 148,932 miles despite recording zero defects. This typically indicates an inability to complete the test, such as an engine misfire preventing an emissions reading or a procedural issue, rather than a mechanical failure. The subsequent pass just one day later at 148,933 miles confirms the issue was rectified immediately. Given the vehicle's age and 161,996 miles, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of common S-MAX weak points. Focus on the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which often wear on heavier MPVs, and check the brake discs and calipers for any signs of corrosion or binding. Examine the exhaust system for leaks and inspect the underbody and sills for structural corrosion, ensuring the clean MOT history translates to solid mechanical reality.
