2014 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FN14 YNX

The 2014 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 120,429 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, which indicates the vehicle has met minimum statutory standards without recurring concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 120,429 against a 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 10,000 miles per year and matching typical use for this model. The DVSA entries run from 13 May 2023 at 104,499 miles through to the 2026 test, showing steady annual accumulation of about 5,000 to 5,500 miles. The history is sparse beyond five years but clean, with no gaps suggesting prolonged disuse or sudden high-mileage bursts. A failed test on 23 May 2025 at 115,979 miles carries no recorded defects, with a pass logged the same day under identical mileage; this points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Buyers should still confirm the V5C and DVSA portal detail, as a zero-defect failure is unusual and warrants verification of what triggered the initial rejection. Given the absence of flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should perform a standard in-person check of consumables and underbody condition. Inspect tyre tread depth, wiper operation, and exhaust for rot, but the record implies previous owners kept the car to a passable standard without deferred maintenance.
