2017 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FL67 UBK

The 2017 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 5 September 2025 at 64,098 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior passes in 2024, 2023, and 2022 likewise recorded no advisories or faults. The only anomaly is a failed test on 1 September 2025 at 64,080 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass four days later. Annual mileage averages around 7,122 miles, consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows steady accumulation: 35,882 miles in April 2022, 43,539 by May 2023, 53,443 by May 2024, and 64,080 by September 2025. No rapid jumps or prolonged standing gaps appear; the roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles added each interval reflect regular but moderate private or family use. The sparse, clean MOT entries indicate the previous owner kept basic statutory testing current without deferred examinations. No recurring faults, corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues appear in the advisory columns across the five tests. The absence of flagged coil springs, binding calipers, or structural concerns implies no ongoing mechanical trend requiring intervention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT, notably tyre condition, wiper blades, and underbody rust, given the vehicle's age. Given the fault-free record and matched mileage, the S-Max shows no evidence of neglected upkeep or hidden structural risk from the official data. The September 2025 failure without recorded defects remains the sole irregularity and warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align before purchase.
