Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this 1.6L diesel S-Max, prioritise checking the SRS (airbag) system, as a failure was recorded in 2024. Ensure the warning lamp is completely extinguished and that any faults have been professionally rectified. Given the 111,378 mileage, you should also verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine size.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT advisories, specifically the rear brake pad wear noted in March 2026. Check the condition of all exterior lighting, including the central upper stop lamp and the nearside rear inner position lamps, which have appeared as defects in multiple MOT tests (2024 and 2026). Ask for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as perishing tyres were an issue in 2023.
As a 1560cc diesel, this S-Max is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its size and weight. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel MPV.
Tax and insurance groups will vary based on specific trim levels, but maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly for consumables like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in the MOT history. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,400-£1,700, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the electrical systems and lighting. The MOT history for LL62NBB shows several instances of lighting failures, including LED sidelight issues and stop lamp faults. Test every light on the vehicle, including the high-level brake light.
Secondly, inspect the tyres and braking components. The 2023 MOT noted cracking/perishing tyres, and the 2026 MOT flagged thin rear brake pads. Ensure the tyres have sufficient tread and no sidewall cracking, and check the thickness of the brake pads and discs. Finally, confirm the SRS warning lamp is not active, as this was a specific failure point in the 2024 test.
This 2012 silver Ford S-Max (LL62NBB) has covered 111,378 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,532 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in March 2024 due to an SRS warning lamp and lighting defects. Recent records indicate wear on brake pads and a non-obligatory stop lamp issue, though it passed its most recent test in March 2026.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failures related to headlamps, suspension arms, and exhausts.
