2016 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · ST66 BWX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 22 December 2025 at 53,691 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. Following a single failure in early January 2024, the vehicle has passed two consecutive tests without any advisories, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and that current maintenance remains consistent. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,369 miles per year. Data shows a significant jump in usage between January 2023 at 36,395 miles and January 2024 at 42,297 miles, where the car covered over 6,000 miles in a year. However, the interval between the two 2025 tests shows a return to even lower usage. This low annual mileage often implies lighter motorway use, though it can also indicate longer periods of stationary which may affect mechanical components. While the record is largely clean, a buyer should physically inspect components prone to degradation associated with low-mileage operation. Rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, drive belts, and tyre sidewalls perish or crack if the vehicle is not driven frequently. The buyer should also check for brake caliper corrosion or seizing, as infrequent use can lead to rust on discs. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural rust is necessary to ensure the integrity remains sound despite the low mileage.
