2010 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · OY60 SSV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of recurring suspension and braking issues. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 126,984 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a front oil leak and corrosion on both rear coil springs. This represents a progression from the 2023 test where corrosion was first noted, suggesting that while the owner addresses immediate failures, the underlying structural components are reaching the end of service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old family MPV, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The records show steady usage, with roughly 6,200 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 8,300 miles in the year prior. This consistent rate of travel suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces like the pitting seen on the brake discs in 2022. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the engine bay to identify the oil leak flagged in late 2025 and determine if it is a minor seal failure or a more significant gasket issue. The recurring corrosion on the rear coil springs is a point of structural concern; these should be checked for deep scaling or thinning of the metal, as they are increasingly likely to snap under load. Additionally, the history of pitted brake discs in 2022 indicates that the braking system may be prone to corrosion, so the current state of the pads and rotors should be verified for uneven wear or binding.
