2018 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · HT68 AOE

This vehicle is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 at 46,717 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories across the last three years suggests a vehicle that has been kept to a high mechanical standard. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,840 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between 16 January 2025 and 10 January 2026, where the odometer rose from 37,300 to 46,717 miles. This indicates a shift toward heavier use in the last year compared to the previous period between February 2024 and January 2025, when the car covered 6,443 miles. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no recurring faults with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. While the record shows two failures on the same day as the passes in February 2024 and January 2026, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly on site. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished tyre rubber or sticking brake calipers due to inactivity. Check the date codes on the tyres and ensure the brake pedals feel firm and responsive to rule out any issues stemming from the vehicle's low annual mileage.
