2014 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FN14 YRP

The 2014 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 108,310 miles. Every MOT entry from 2021 through 2025 shows a pass with no defects or advisories logged by the tester. The maintenance history indicates consistent annual compliance and no escalation of mechanical or structural concerns across the recorded period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,026 miles per year against the 108,310 miles recorded. The test on 20 August 2021 at 77,060 miles preceded a longer gap before the 26 May 2022 test at 78,853 miles, suggesting limited use over that winter. From May 2022 to June 2024 the car covered only 12,292 miles, then added 17,165 miles by June 2025, a moderate rise but still within normal family-MPV parameters. The DVSA record itself is sparse on faults, showing no minor consumable wear or serious items flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of tester advisories that might otherwise reveal gradual wear. The clean history offers no recurring pattern of corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions failure to chase, yet twelve years of service can hide tired components the MOT did not capture. Verify underbody structural integrity and check for intermittent electrical or turbo issues not visible in pass-only records. Given the flawless test sequence, previous owners appear to have kept the S-Max to a basic road-legal standard without deferred statutory testing. The lack of any advisory across five years implies either diligent upkeep or tests conducted under favourable conditions. A pre-purchase check by a Ford specialist remains sensible before committing funds.
