2010 Ford S-MAX 2.2L Diesel · RO10 POA

The vehicle is roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend relative to the current date of 2026-06-18, as the most recent MOT passed on 2026-03-24 at 209,268 miles without any recorded faults. The sequence of tests from March 2025 to March 2023 shows a consistent and steady accumulation of mileage over a period of roughly 13 years, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a regular upkeep schedule without significant gaps or accelerated wear. The mileage pattern suggests that the owner has not been skipping essential servicing, as the vehicle has maintained a consistent 13,079 miles per year despite being approximately 16 years old. While the MOTs are dated, the absence of faults in the most recent test confirms that the mechanical condition of the 209,268-mile vehicle remains sound. However, the history of a failed MOT on 2026-03-18 at 208,940 miles reveals a critical structural risk that must be addressed immediately, as this date represents the first time the vehicle was tested after the initial 2026-03-24 pass. Given the recurring faults recorded in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and mechanical components that have not been checked in the MOT. The most significant issue is the exhaust system, which has suffered from a major leak and corrosion of the centre pipe tailpipes, a condition that has not been addressed in the MOT test. Additionally, the rear brake disc has been noted as worn, which implies that the brakes have been serviced but may not be fully checked for condition. The buyer should also verify the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of binding, as the ball joints have shown slight play in the rear anti-roll bars, which could indicate excessive play or binding.
