2015 Ford S-MAX Titanium Sport Tdci Auto 2.0L Diesel · IXZ 2125

This Ford S-Max has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between April 2022 and August 2025. The most recent inspection, just over a year ago at 100,939 miles, confirms the vehicle passed without issue, suggesting the tester found no evidence of critical failures in brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. While the absence of recorded problems is reassuring, the lack of advisories or minor faults also implies the previous owner may have deferred routine maintenance or that the vehicle has been driven in a manner that avoids stressing high-wear components. The clean history does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly for components not routinely checked in an MOT, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain fluid levels. The mileage progression of roughly 9,176 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gaps between tests vary slightly—from 12 months between the 2024 and 2025 tests to nearly 13 months between 2023 and 2024. The most notable interval is the 11-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests, which could indicate either consistent annual servicing or a period of reduced driving. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged inactivity, though the absence of service records means wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades cannot be confirmed. The recorded mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme usage, but this does not guarantee all components have been maintained at optimal levels. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, dampers, and coil springs, as these are not always flagged in an MOT but can degrade silently over 11 years. The brakes, while not failed in any test, should be assessed for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in higher-mileage vehicles. Examine the underbody for signs of structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as this is often a silent concern in older models. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as failing emissions tests are rare in this record but can indicate leaks or catalytic converter issues. The lack of advisories does not rule out these areas requiring attention.
