2009 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FP09 AXY

The 2009 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 79,786 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed test on 3 July 2023 at 69,802 miles that recorded no defects; the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 79,786 against an age of seventeen years, averaging roughly 4,693 miles per year. The records show gentle, consistent use: 64,983 miles in June 2022, 69,802 by July 2023, 75,225 by July 2024, and 79,786 by June 2025. Annual accumulation sits near 5,000 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. Low overall mileage of this type often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even when test results stay clean. No advisories or defects appear across the five entries, so the DVSA record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sills for structural rust, check brake disc condition after likely low-use cycling, and verify tyre sidewall age given the car's standing time. The clean history reflects either diligent upkeep or light use, but it does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation invisible to the MOT lane.
