2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Petrol · LP16 OCF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 October 2025 at 59,763 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle, preventing the common mechanical failures or structural degradation from surfacing during the testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 31,713 miles in August 2021 to 59,763 miles by October 2025. While there is a slight gap between the July 2022 and October 2023 tests, the overall accumulation remains consistent with light short-distance urban use. This low mileage typically implies less wear on high-friction components, engine internals, and suspension assemblies compared to high-mileage counterparts. Despite the clean record, the buyer must account for components susceptible to age rather than distance. A physical inspection should focus on the rubber-based elements, such as suspension bushes, drive shafts boots, and tyre sidewalls which can perish or crack during periods of low use. The brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or pitted surfaces, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust if left sitting inactive. Checking the structural integrity for early-stage corrosion remains standard practice to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden environmental damage.
