Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 106,856 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result in June 2024, indicating the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,286 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between June 2022 and June 2023, where the odometer rose from 89,201 to 96,053 miles. Since then, the annual accumulation has slowed, with only 1,914 miles added between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. This suggests a transition toward lighter use in the last two years. The absence of advisories across the last four years is unusual for a 2009 model and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. However, the record shows a failure and immediate pass on 19 June 2024, though the specific defect is not listed in the provided data. A buyer should verify what was rectified during that same-day failure to identify any hidden vulnerabilities. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT may not exhaustively detail, specifically structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe. While the tests are clean, the buyer should check for perished rubber suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs for pitting, as these components often degrade during periods of lower mileage.
