2021 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · PO70 KOV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on February 6 2026 at 39,314 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, although the record reveals a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. The failure recorded on February 4,2026, at just one mile prior to the passing test, resulted in a clean pass two days later, suggesting a minor mechanical adjustment or light-related defect that the previous owner addressed quickly before the re-test. The mileage profile is consistent with average usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the November 2024 test at 22,710 miles and the February 2025 test at 22,794 miles, where the car covered only 84 miles in three months. However, the mileage then increased significantly by 16,520 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, indicating a return to regular long driving patterns in the final year. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion issues, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to wear at this mileage. Given the recent spike in usage, check the rubber bushings in the suspension for cracking and inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or binding. Since the record shows no advisories for tyre tread or wiper blades, verify the current condition of these consumables to ensure the recent increase in mileage has not led to unadvertised deferred maintenance on the drivetrain or underbody.
