2011 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · ML11 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 114,677 miles which returned with no defects. This follows a period of clean passes over the preceding years, suggesting consistent mechanical upkeep. The single failure recorded in February 2024 was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed the retest that same day, indicating the owner is proactive regarding essential safety repairs rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's fifteen-year age profile, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 16,011 miles, representing a steady usage pattern without extreme spikes or long periods of stationary neglect. This regular interval is generally positive for older vehicles as it prevents the degradation of rubber components and avoids issues associated with seized calipers or perished brake lines. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests the vehicle has been used for predictable, daily tasks. Given the clean history of recent MOT tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Ford S-Max of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly on the rear sills and subframe where rust often begins to manifest. Check the suspension bushes and control arm joints for signs of tearing, as these components degrade over time regardless of clean test results. While the MOT record shows no brake failures, checking for uneven wear on the discs and the thickness of the pads remains necessary to ensure the system is not nearing the end of its functional life.
