2011 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Petrol · YR61 XTP

Three MOT tests are recorded between February 2022 and January 2024, all resulting in passes, with the most recent assessment on 31 January 2024 at approximately 87,000 miles. No further tests appear in the supplied history, leaving a gap of roughly twenty months between the latest entry and the current date of 30 August 2026. The trend across the documented period is stable rather than worsening, as no failures or refusals were issued, though two advisories across three tests indicate that minor wear items have been flagged. A buyer should not interpret three clean passes as proof of overall condition, since the MOT only samples specific items at a single point in time and cannot confirm general mechanical health. Mileage progression is difficult to verify from the records provided, as exact odometer readings at each test are not listed. The vehicle has covered 90,320 miles over fifteen years, equating to roughly 6,021 miles per year, which is broadly consistent with typical use for a family MPV of this age. The absence of recorded mileages at each individual test means any unusually rapid accumulation between specific dates cannot be confirmed. Given the substantial gap since the last documented test, the current MOT status of the vehicle is unknown and would require a fresh inspection to confirm roadworthiness for continued use. The advisories recorded point to areas a buyer should examine in person. The January 2024 test flagged an offside rear suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement, referencing the trailing arm main bush. Such components deteriorate gradually and may have progressed beyond advisory threshold since that test, particularly given the intervening mileage and age. The February 2023 advisory noted an oil leak classed as not excessive; the source was not specified, so common Ford S-Max leak points such as the rocker cover gasket, sump, or turbo seals on diesel variants warrant visual inspection. No braking, structural, or exhaust advisories appear in the record, but this does not guarantee those systems remain sound after twenty months without documented testing. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician should focus on the rear suspension bushes and trailing arms, under-bonnet oil leak tracing, and a general check of braking components, tyres, and corrosion around sills and subframes, as these are common wear areas on higher-mileage S-Max vehicles of this generation. Confirming an up-to-date MOT certificate is essential before purchase.
