2013 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · WM13 OGR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 123,686 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure just two miles prior on the same day. This specific anomaly suggests a minor component adjustment or a sensor-related fault that was immediately rectified before the retest. Since that incident, the vehicle has cleared its annual inspections without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old MPV, averaging approximately 9,500 miles annually. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 32,435 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 10,800 miles per year. There is no evidence of long periods of stagnation or erratic mileage accumulation that often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The intervals between tests suggest the car has been used on a regular basis, which generally correlates with better health for the drivetrain and suspension systems on vehicles of this age. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear-and-tear items common to high-mileage Ford S-Max models. Prioritize the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the sills and subframe, although the MOT record has not flagged any structural integrity issues. The buyer should also verify the brake disc thickness and pad life to ensure that the lack of advisories in the record reflects the actual state of the braking system.
