Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When viewing this S-MAX, verify the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for long-term reliability. Given the 2022 MOT note regarding a child seat preventing a full adult belt inspection, you should personally check the tension and condition of all seatbelts, including the rear seats.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the record is clean, the vehicle has covered more than the 8,524-mile annual average seen in the wider model data. Check for any signs of wear on the suspension components, as 'suspension arm' is a common failure point for this model type across the wider fleet.
As a 2.0L diesel, this S-MAX is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its size and weight. You should check the specific tax band for this 2018 registration, as diesel taxation rules have evolved.
Maintenance costs for Ford models are generally predictable, but be prepared for potential costs related to suspension or exhaust components, which are noted as common failure areas for this model. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, typically fall within a moderate range for a large family MPV.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and exhaust systems. While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for the S-MAX highlights suspension arms and exhausts as top failure reasons. It is worth checking for any knocking sounds from the underside during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, as this is another common MOT failure reason for this model. Finally, ensure the child seat issue noted in 2022 is not a recurring problem by checking that all seatbelt buckles are easily accessible and functioning correctly.
This 2018 grey Ford S-MAX with the 2.0L diesel engine has maintained a consistent MOT record since 2022. With 60,637 miles recorded in its most recent July 2026 test, it sits slightly above the model's average annual mileage of 8,524. The vehicle has passed every inspection without recorded defects since its first recorded test, though one 2022 inspection was limited by a child seat.
Aggregate data for the Ford S-MAX shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common issues relating to headlamps, suspension arms, and exhausts.
