2015 Ford S-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FH64 WSF

The S-Max presents a currently roadworthy status following the January 2026 test, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent examination on 5 January 2026 at 127,829 miles returned a pass with no defects logged, after an initial failure on the same date that recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025 and January 2024 also closed with passes and no advisories, indicating no escalating wear pattern over the three-year window. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging around 11,600 miles per year. The record shows 106,366 miles at the January 2024 test, rising to 117,654 miles by January 2025 and 127,829 miles by January 2026, a consistent annual gain near 10,000 to 11,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every entry listing no defects or advisories, so the file gives little insight into consumable or structural condition beyond the odometer progression. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the clean MOT record does not confirm these components were measured against advisory thresholds. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass entries at 117,654 and 127,829 miles imply clerical re-entry rather than rectification work, so previous owners likely used compliant garages but left no paper trail of interim servicing. Given the age and 127,829 miles, check underneath for corrosion at structural mounting points and examine exhaust emissions under load. The absence of recorded advisories across three tests suggests basic upkeep was maintained, yet the sparse data means latent wear in drivetrain seals or steering joints cannot be ruled out without a hands-on assessment.
