2007 Ford S-MAX 1.8L Diesel · TO56 DGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 August 2025 at 150,741 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum legal standards. This follows a clean pass in July 2024, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle's mechanical integrity after a brief failure earlier that same year. The recorded mileage of 150,741 miles over 19 years reflects an average use of approximately 7,934 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for an MPV of this age. The data shows a steady rate of accumulation between August 2022 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered 9,056 miles. There is a noticeable drop in usage between August 2023 and July 2024, with only 4,056 miles recorded, followed by a return to higher mileage levels in the subsequent year. This relatively consistent usage generally prevents premature degradation of rubber seals and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most prone to age-related wear on a Ford S-Max. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the age and mileage necessitate a close look for corrosion on the subframe, exhaust mounting points, and rear arches. Given the failure in July 2024 which was rectified within two days, the buyer should verify that the specific fault which caused that failure was properly addressed and is not a recurring issue. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and testing for binding brake calipers is advisable, as these are common points of failure on vehicles exceeding the 150,000-mile mark.
