Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- You need seats for a larger family: this advert records 7 seats. Check that your passengers and child seats actually fit.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need every seat and lots of luggage space: check the boot with all rows in use, third-row legroom and child-seat access.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 14 years old and 241,401 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2010–2014 S‑Max diesels use Ford's 2.0 TDCi with a 6‑speed manual; it's generally efficient but likes long runs to keep the DPF happy. Common weak spots on older diesels are DPF/EGR clogging and clutch/dual‑mass flywheel wear on high‑mile manuals; parts are cheap and widely available in Ireland, but repairs can be costly if deferred. Check that any optional 3rd‑row seats fold and lock correctly — replacements and motors are still obtainable but fiddly.
- DPF / EGR behaviour: watch for excessive smoke, recent long motorway runs, and evidence of forced regens or DPF replacement
- Clutch and dual‑mass flywheel: heavy bite, slipping or rattling at tickover and when cold — manual S‑Max often needs a clutch/DMF by this age
- Third‑row seats and runners: folding mechanism, electric release (if fitted) and seat locks operate smoothly and lock solidly
- Turbo and hoses: check for boost hose cracks, oil seepage at turbo/intercooler and any rattles from the turbo shaft
- Rear suspension and body corrosion: inspect rear arches, tailgate lower edge and sills for corrosion or sagging suspension
