2011 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · LR08 NWR

The 2011 Ford S-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 102,618 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 7 June 2024 at 95,367 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisories or faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,841 miles per year. The record shows 90,231 miles in June 2023, 95,367 miles in June 2024, and 102,618 miles in June 2025, equating to about 5,000 to 7,400 miles annually with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with only two failed tests logged on 6 June 2023 and 6 June 2024, both at 90,231 and 95,354 miles respectively, and both showing no defects recorded before a pass was issued the following day. Those same-day fail-then-pass results without listed defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure, though a buyer should confirm the original failure reasons via the full DVLA certificate. No recurring advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the timeline, which indicates previous owners kept consumable wear and structural integrity within test limits. Given the clean advisory history, a pre-purchase inspection should still verify underbody structural integrity for age-related rust, check brake caliper operation and disc condition, and confirm the timing belt interval on this high-mileage petrol or diesel unit. The absence of flagged faults implies reasonable upkeep, but physical inspection remains prudent on a vehicle of this age.
