Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
Arrange a pre-purchase inspection with particular emphasis on the rear suspension, given the advisories on both rear lower suspension arms/lower spring cups (2024) and the rear coil spring (2021). These corrosion-related items are a known pattern on older S-Max models and the progression from a single coil spring advisory in 2021 to both rear spring cups in 2024 suggests the components are deteriorating over time. Inspect all four suspension corners for surface corrosion, and check the rear tyres carefully for uneven inner-edge wear, as this was also flagged in 2021. Negotiate the asking price with a realistic budget of £400-£700 for a pair of rear spring cups and possible coil spring replacement at a independent garage. Request any service history available, particularly evidence of timing belt replacement (typically due at 100,000 miles or 10 years on the 2.0 TDCi), as this is a major-cost service item. The 2023 advisory about a damaged nearside mirror is cosmetic but worth checking for any underlying electrical issues with mirror adjustment or folding functions.
The 2.0 TDCi diesel S-Max typically returns 42-47 mpg in real-world mixed driving, depending on whether it is the 140 or 163 PS variant. Annual fuel costs for average mileage of around 12,000 miles would be approximately £1,800-£2,100 at current diesel prices. Road tax for a 2010 diesel of this engine size falls into a higher bracket, typically £200-£300 per year. Insurance for a 7-seat MPV of this type usually sits in groups 18-22, translating to roughly £450-£650 annually for a typical driver. Maintenance costs are moderate, though the recent corrosion advisories suggest rear suspension refurbishment could be needed in the near term. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £2,900-£3,600.
Begin with a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, as both the 2021 and 2024 MOTs recorded corrosion advisories on spring-related components. Place the vehicle on a ramp if possible and check both rear spring cups, coil springs, and lower suspension arms for advanced corrosion that could fail a future MOT. Examine all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, particularly inner-edge wear on the rear axle, which was flagged in the 2021 test. The 2.0 TDCi engine should be checked for oil leaks around the rocker cover and turbo oil feed pipes, and the timing belt service interval verified. Given that the vehicle has covered 142,091 miles, also inspect the dual-mass flywheel for rattle on idle, clutch wear, and the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) through a forced regeneration check during a test drive. Finally, verify the operation of the nearside mirror, as damage was noted in 2023, and check all electrical functions including the dual-zone climate control and powered tailgate if fitted.
This 2.0-litre diesel Ford S-Max has recorded five consecutive MOT passes between 2021 and 2025, accumulating 142,091 miles in that final test. The aggregate MOT pass rate for the S-Max model stands at 77.5%, meaning this particular example sits within the passing cohort rather than the failing 22.5%. Advisories around rear suspension corrosion in 2021 and 2024 suggest progressive wear on components that may soon require attention. Overall mileage is high but consistent with a 15-year-old diesel people carrier that has been used as intended.
The Ford S-Max has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.5% across 86,161 vehicles analysed, placing it in the middle tier of family MPVs for MOT outcomes. The most common failure points across the model are headlamp issues, exhaust components, and tyres, which are typical wear items rather than fundamental design flaws.
