2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · KS59 XWP

The 2010 Ford S-Max passed its most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 160,723 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable and the maintenance trend appears stable across the last three years. The vehicle showed two consecutive fail-pass pairs on 24-25 July 2025 and 16 July 2024, both at identical mileages with no defects logged, which points to administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or recorded wear items appear in the official history. Annual mileage averages around 10,045 miles, typical for a 16-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 152,160 miles at the June 2023 test to 157,349 miles in July 2024 and 160,723 miles by July 2025. That is roughly 5,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 and 3,400 miles to 2025, showing a slight slowdown in use. The clean pass history with no corrosion, brake, or suspension flags suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing compliance, though the lack of advisories at this age and mileage is unusual and warrants verification. A buyer should physically inspect structural integrity for hidden rust given the age and the absence of any corrosion notes in the record. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not captured by the tester. Confirm the 24-25 July 2025 and 16 July 2024 fail entries were clerical, not掩盖 mechanical defects cleared without documentation. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person. The low annual mileage means consumables may degrade from standing rather than wear. Given 160,723 miles on the original drivetrain, assess gearbox and clutch operation during a road test.
