2014 Ford S-MAX Zetec Tdci 140 2.0L Diesel · SW14 OVZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 1 November 2024 at 115,510 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved clean passes following the rectification of previous failures. While the history shows failures in April 2023 and October 2024, the lack of recorded defects on the passing tests suggests that the owner has addressed the necessary repairs to meet minimum legal standards. At 115,510 miles over twelve years, the car has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family-sized MP. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with 11,560 miles covered between March 2022 and March 2023, and another 16,345 miles covered between April 2023 and November 2024. This recent acceleration suggests the vehicle is being used regularly rather than sitting idle, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and prevents-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely triggered the recent failures, although the specific defects were not detailed in the provided summary. Given the mileage and age, a thorough check of the front suspension components, specifically bushes and coil springs, is essential as these are common points of wear on this chassis. The buyer should also inspect for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and check the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure the high mileage has not led to significant thinning or binding calipers.
