2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FG60 WAU

The 2010 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 115,823 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 27 January 2025 at 95,134 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has cleared every examination since a single failure on 17 July 2023 at 89,845 miles, which the tester logged with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,239 miles, typical for a sixteen-year-old family vehicle. The records show a quiet period of low use between 8 November 2022 (86,395 miles) and 8 August 2023 (90,121 miles), then a sharper rise to 95,134 miles by January 2025 and 115,823 miles by January 2026. That equates to about 20,000 miles added in the last twelve months, a marked acceleration from earlier years. The sparse five-entry history offers little evidence of neglected consumables, though the gap before the 2023 failure leaves the intervening care unverified. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the recent high-mileage year. The July 2023 failure with no defects listed warrants confirmation that the DVSA record reflects a genuine pass-on-retest rather than a suppressed fault. Check underneath for corrosion to structural members and scrutinise exhaust emissions against current limits, as a 2010 diesel or petrol powertrain at 115,823 miles may show fatigue not captured in a clean MOT. No recurring advisories appear across the supplied tests, so no worsening mechanical pattern is evident. The absence of flagged tyre tread, wiper blades, or binding calipers implies previous owners addressed wear before each test. Treat the clean record as a positive but verify in person, given the sparse history and the unexplained 2023 failure entry.
