2018 Ford S-MAX 1.5L Petrol · YP18 AYJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 December 2025 at 61,970 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable parameters. This clean record across five consecutive annual tests suggests the previous owner maintained a proactive upkeep schedule rather than allowing minor issues to escalate. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2024, the car covered 28,539 miles, roughly 9,500 miles annually, while the most recent interval between December 2024 and December 2025 saw a slight increase of 10,123 miles. This regular usage is generally beneficial for modern components as it prevents the seal degradation and brake corrosion that often occur during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults regarding structural rust or brake failures, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items associated with this mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as rubber components perish over time regardless of mileage. The brake discs and pads should also be inspected for excessive thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT only tests for efficiency rather than the remaining life of the material.
