2009 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · YR09 XOO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 6 December 2023 at 110,375 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day that listed no defects, which suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately or the re-test was a routine administrative clearance. Since the last MOT occurred eighteen months ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its test, which remains the primary concern regardless of its previous mechanical history. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between September 2020 and December 2023, the car covered 20,282 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden heavy use. This low annual mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and structural components from excessive stress though the lack of recorded faults in the last four tests indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to the accelerated wear typically seen with high-mileage MPVs. While the record shows no advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common failure points for this era of S-Max. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often perish due to age regardless of mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, check the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold. Verify the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, as the absence of recorded faults does not guarantee the current state of these consumables since the last test.
