2013 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · LF13 NPJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 82,876 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just ten days prior in September 2025 at 82,874 miles, which suggests a minor compliance issue, such as a blown bulb or light adjustment, that was immediately rectified by the owner rather than indicating a deep mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,375 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the car covered 14,025 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The more recent jump of 13,675 miles between September 2024 and October 2025 indicates a significant increase in annual usage, though the overall low mileage generally reduces the wear on high-stress components like the engine and gearbox assembly compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT record is clean of recurring mechanical advisories or structural failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation that tests do not always capture. Inspect the rubber components in the suspension and control arm bushes for cracking, as these can perish over thirteen years regardless of low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as long periods of standing associated with low-use vehicles often lead to oxidation on the braking surfaces.
