2015 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · JH58 NDH

The 2015 Ford S-Max holds a valid roadworthy certificate after the 27 March 2026 MOT pass at 121,347 miles. Maintenance trend reads stable, with every recorded test from March 2023 onward showing no defects or advisories. The most recent pass followed a curious failure on 24 March 2026 at 121,346 miles where the tester likewise logged no faults, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a deterioration in condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The record opens at 96,397 miles on 6 March 2023, rises to 109,128 miles by 4 March 2024, then 116,214 miles on 10 March 2025, and reaches 121,347 miles on 27 March 2026. Annual increments of roughly 12,700, 7,100 and 5,100 miles show a gradual reduction in yearly travel. Sparse but clean history reveals no prolonged standing or rapid accumulation that would flag hidden wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements given the age and mileage. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and probe chassis legs and sills for corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the S-Max from consumable degradation typical of a 121,000-mile MPV. The anomalous March 2026 fail without listed defects warrants a check of the DVSA database for the refusal reason. Previous owners maintained annual test compliance, yet the lack of interim service stamps in the MOT data leaves lubrication and cambelt history unverified. Targeted scrutiny of exhaust emissions and drivetrain seals will confirm the stable picture the records suggest.
