The FORD S-MAX (2015-19) 5DR MPV 2.0 ECOBLUE DPFR SS 120 EU6 ZETEC 6SPD is a spacious, family-focused MPV, rather than an SUV or hatchback. Its flexible, usually seven-seat layout and cabin make it a practical choice for school runs, holidays and carrying friends, while its sleek shape feels less van-like than many people carriers. The 2.0-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit longer journeys and family use, with 120PS offering sensible everyday performance. Zetec trim provides a useful comfort-and-equipment balance. Compared with a Ford Galaxy or Volkswagen Sharan, the S-MAX is known for a more car-like drive, combining generous space with reassuring road manners. mycarcheck.com has recorded just one check for this version, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide: the checked example showed an average private-sale valuation of £16,500, 31,000 miles, 6,000 miles a year and one previous keeper.
