2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FJ66 XKB

The 2016 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 67,220 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered the current year in sound mechanical condition. Prior tests show the same clean outcome across four consecutive years. Annual mileage averages 6,722 against a ten-year life, a typical figure for this model age. The records trace a steady climb: 39,380 miles in February 2023, 47,170 in February 2024, 56,935 in February 2025, and 67,220 in February 2026. The DVSA log shows a failed entry on 5 February 2025 at 56,935 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage. That duplicate suggests an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, defect-free history gives no evidence of neglect or abrupt usage spikes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's decade of service. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing moisture and undertray grime can hide until a ramp check. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition despite the clean advisories. The previous owner clearly kept the S-Max to franchise-level upkeep, with no outstanding consumable wear or recurring mechanical trends. Treat the 2025 dual entry as clerical, not a warning. This is a low-risk used purchase on the paper trail alone.
