2007 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · KD57 AOO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 139,989 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed within a week of the scheduled test, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects to ensure the car remained legal rather than allowing faults to persist across test cycles. At 19 years old age, the recorded mileage of 139,989 miles averages to approximately 7,368 miles per year. This aligns with typical low-annual usage for a large MPV. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and approximately 1,300 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady progression indicates the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent degradation of rubber components and fluid systems despite the higher age. While the most recent test showed no defects, the history of rapid-fire failures warrants a thorough physical inspection of components that frequently fail. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes, bushings, and control arms for wear, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe mounting points is essential to ensure that the clean MOT record is not masking underlying surface rust that has not yet reached the threshold for failure.
