2013 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FL63 WLG

The 2013 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 187,060 miles returned a pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken five-year clean record. The maintenance trend shows no worsening and no recurring mechanical faults across the available history. Annual mileage averages 14,389 miles, which is high for a 13-year-old vehicle but consistent year to year. The records show steady accumulation: 133,336 miles in November 2021, 155,586 in December 2022, 170,987 in December 2023, 180,308 in December 2024, and 187,060 in December 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear between tests. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing a pass and no defects recorded. Given the clean MOT history, the previous owner kept the S-Max to a standard that cleared each annual test without flagged wear. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person, as these components accumulate fatigue at 187,000 miles even without advisories. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants a visual check given the vehicle's age and winter mileage. The high recorded mileage implies drivetrain and clutch wear beyond what MOT tests assess. Verify service history for timing belt intervals and gearbox condition. The absence of tyre or wiper advisories across five tests suggests consumables were replaced before each test rather than left to fail.
