2018 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · RE67 CXR

The 2018 Ford S-Max presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 48,254 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the entire documented history indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,000 miles annually. Between the 2024 test at 40,265 miles and the 2025 test at 48,254 miles, the vehicle covered 7,989 miles over a twelve-month period, reflecting a slight uptick in usage compared to the previous year's 7,253 miles. The consistent annual testing pattern, always conducted in September or October, demonstrates diligent compliance with roadworthiness regulations without any suspicious gaps or rapid, unexplained mileage spikes. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The tester flagged no corrosion or structural issues, yet a buyer should still examine the underside for surface rust on suspension components, subframes, and brake calipers, which are common on MPVs exposed to road salt. The 7,989 miles covered in the last year will have consumed consumables; check the condition of the tyre tread depths and sidewalls, and inspect the brake discs and pads for lipping or uneven wear. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be tested for deterioration, as the heavier kerb weight of the S-Max accelerates wear on these components even when the vehicle passes its emissions and structural checks.
