2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Petrol · LN60 UUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the October 2024 MOT at 128,506 miles recorded no defects. The series of tests from November 2022 onward shows a consistent pass outcome, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening trend. With an age of 16 years and 128,506 recorded miles, the vehicle averages roughly 8,000 miles per year, a rate that aligns with typical usage for its class. Mileage increments between successive tests are modest and continuous, for example the increase from 115,720 miles in November 2022 to 122,992 miles in November 2023 represents a rise of 7,272 miles over twelve months, and the jump to 128,506 miles in October 2024 adds another 5,514 miles in eleven months. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring suspension issues, specifically the wear of rear and front suspension arm pins and bushes noted in 2020, 2022 and 2023, which may indicate looseness or impending failure. The rear shock body mounts and exhaust system show repeated corrosion and minor leaks, suggesting the need for a close inspection of mounting points and pipe integrity. Tyre tread depth has repeatedly approached or fallen below the 1.6 mm legal limit, so tread depth measurement is essential. Brake discs and pads have shown progressive wear, with the front discs described as worn but not excessive and pads wearing thin, warranting a detailed brake assessment. Overall, the steady mileage and recent defect‑free test suggest the owner has kept up routine maintenance, yet the persistent advisories on suspension, exhaust and tyre condition require a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that the recorded wear has not led to hidden structural damage.
