2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · HN60 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 169,349 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed the day prior on 21 October 2025, the absence of listed defects suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial issue. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. The odometer rose from 141,033 miles in August 2022 to 169,349 miles by October 2025. This represents a steady usage pattern of approximately 28,000 miles over three years, avoiding the risks associated with long periods of standing or excessive short-trip wear. The MOT history is unusually clean for a sixteen year old Ford S-Max. There are no recorded advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across the five most recent entries. This lack of flagged issues suggests a disciplined maintenance regime or a vehicle that has been kept in a sheltered environment. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. High-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from hidden structural rust or worn coil springs that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical point. Checking for oil leaks and verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential given the 169,349 mile reading.
