2007 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FP07 FTT

The 2007 Ford S-Max passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 164,003 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by rapid passes two days later, with failures logged on 10 May 2025 at 164,002 miles and 27 May 2024 at 161,659 miles yet recording no defects either time. This suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage rose from 156,212 at the 20 May 2023 test to 161,708 by 7 June 2024, then to 164,003 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 5,500 miles in the first interval and 2,300 in the second, both below the lifetime average of 8,632 miles per year. The DVSA data is sparse, with five entries across three years and no advisories or defects ever noted, so no wear trends on consumables or structural items can be inferred from the record itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's 19-year age and 164,003 miles. The clean MOT ledger does not exempt the S-Max from age-related corrosion on sills, subframes or exhaust emissions components. Verify the two failure entries with no defects were clerical errors and not concealed rectification work carried out off-record between tests.
