2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · MW66 ACJ

The 2016 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 17 December 2025 at 91,785 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the available history. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on the same date at 91,783 miles with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Every annual test from December 2022 through December 2024 passed with no advisories or defects logged. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,178 miles per year. The record shows 64,423 miles at the December 2022 test, rising to 73,580 by December 2023, then 82,930 in December 2024, and 91,785 by the December 2025 pass. The annual increments of around 9,000 miles indicate consistent, moderate use with no standing periods or sudden high-mileage spikes. The sparse but clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data in the MOT history. The lack of flagged items does not confirm component condition, only that the tester found nothing reportable on the day. Verify the December 2025 fail-pass pair with the selling garage to confirm no rectification work was actually required. Given the fault-free trajectory, previous owners appear to have maintained the S-Max to a standard that satisfied annual statutory testing. The repeated clean results suggest routine servicing rather than reactive repair. Treat the missing advisories as a prompt for physical checks, not as proof of long-term component health.
