Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the high mileage for a 2019 vehicle, you should prioritise checking the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil changes. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre issues, including a 2024 failure where a rear tyre had cords exposed; check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres thoroughly.
Negotiate on the basis of the high annual mileage and the previous MOT failures. Specifically, ask if the nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, which was noted as severely deteriorated in March 2025, has been replaced with a high-quality part. Ensure the windscreen wipers are in good condition, as these were previously flagged as ineffective.
As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 vehicle, this S-Max is likely to be compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ). Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but diesel engines of this size typically offer decent motorway cruising efficiency.
Insurance groups for the S-Max vary, but you should obtain a specific quote based on the registration FV19HWS. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage, particularly regarding wear-and-tear items like tyres and suspension components, which have appeared in recent MOT tests.
Pay close attention to the suspension and drivetrain. The March 2025 MOT recorded a severely deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft joint CV boot; inspect this area for any signs of grease leakage or play.
Check the condition of all tyres, as the vehicle has a recorded history of multiple failures related to tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having exposed cords. Additionally, inspect the windscreen and wiper assembly, as the offside wiper was previously noted for failing to clear the windscreen effectively.
This 2019 Ford S-Max, finished in blue, has covered 77,900 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,532 miles per year, indicating heavy use. The MOT history shows two failures in the last two years, specifically concerning tyres and a CV boot, though the most recent test recorded no defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points including headlamps, suspension arms, and exhaust components.
