2011 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · HN61 FMC

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy; the most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 180,563 miles recorded a Pass with no defects. Over the five‑year span from 2021 to 2026 every test returned a Pass, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring failures. At 15 years old the S‑Max has accumulated 180,563 miles, equating to roughly 12,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2021 test (135,093 miles) and the March 2026 test the mileage rose by 45,470 miles, an average of about 9,000 miles each year. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, suggesting continuous use rather than prolonged storage. Such mileage is high for its age and implies accelerated wear on consumables and load‑bearing components. A prospective buyer should examine tyre tread depth and uniformity, as high mileage often leads to uneven wear. Inspect brake discs and pads for glazing or thinning, and verify that calipers operate without binding. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and the steering rack for play or corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s mileage history. A visual survey of the under‑carriage for rust, exhaust system integrity, and any fluid leaks will further confirm the condition of structural and mechanical elements that the MOT record does not capture.
