2023 Ford S-MAX Titanium HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · N55 RAP

The vehicle holds a current roadworthiness pass from the December 2025 test at 12,308 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. With only a single MOT entry on file, the maintenance trend is effectively stable or untested, rather than demonstrably improving or worsening. That clean result is encouraging, but one pass at under three years old tells you little about long-term component durability. The mileage pattern shows roughly 4,100 miles per year, which is low for a near-three-year-old car. The recorded 12,308 miles at the December 2025 test suggests light usage, though this could equally mean frequent short journeys or periods of standing. There are no obvious gaps or spikes in the record, and the mileage is consistent with a lightly used family vehicle rather than a high-mileage workhorse. Since the MOT flagged nothing, a buyer should still inspect the usual low-mileage problem areas. Brake discs and calipers can corrode or bind when a car sits idle for long stretches, and tyres may suffer age-related cracking even with plenty of tread depth. For the hybrid powertrain, check the 12V auxiliary battery condition and listen for any driveline shunt from the CVT, as gentle low-speed use does not always exercise those components properly. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage would be wise to confirm the clean history matches the actual mechanical state.
