The FORD S-MAX (2006-10) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDCI 130 TITANIUM AUTO6 is a spacious five-door family MPV, sitting between an ordinary estate car and a larger people carrier in the UK used-car market. Its flexible cabin and practical shape make it a sensible choice for busy households needing room for children, passengers and everyday luggage without moving to a bulky SUV. The Titanium trim gives it a well-equipped feel. This 2.0-litre diesel automatic is suited to longer commutes, school runs and family trips, with an easy-going drive and useful pulling power. The S-MAX is often praised for feeling more car-like and composed than many MPVs, while offering more passenger flexibility than a conventional estate. It competes with models such as the Volkswagen Touran and Renault Grand Scénic. mycarcheck.com records 457 checks across 212 VINs; sampled cars averaged 140,000 miles, 3.8 previous keepers and a £2,000 private-sale value.
