2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FN60 KYX

The 2010 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 20 August 2025 at 111,366 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the last three annual examinations showing no advisories or mechanical faults. Prior to the current pass, the vehicle recorded two paired fail-and-pass cycles on the same test dates, yet both failures listed no defects, indicating administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical defects. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 6,960 miles per year for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 95,401 miles at the 3 August 2023 test to 100,529 miles by 20 August 2024, then to 111,366 miles by 20 August 2025. That equates to roughly 5,100 and 10,800 miles in successive years, showing a moderate rise in annual use rather than a sudden accumulation spike. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every entry either clean or defect-free on failure, so no wear pattern can be inferred from the record itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the lack of advisory capture in the MOT history. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but sixteen years of service commonly hides underbody rust and perished rubber components that testers may overlook on a pass. Verify the 2024 and 2023 same-day fail-pass entries with the selling garage to confirm they were paperwork re-tests and not suppressed defects. Given the clean trailing record, the S-Max shows signs of reasonable upkeep by prior owners who kept it through annual tests without outstanding consumable neglect. The rising mileage in the final year suggests heavier recent use, so check tyre tread depth and wiper condition as basic wear items before purchase.
