The FORD S-MAX (2006-10) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDCI 130 LX AUTO6 is a spacious, five-door family people carrier, sitting between a conventional estate and larger seven-seat MPVs in the UK used-car market. Its flexible cabin and automatic gearbox make it a practical choice for school runs, holidays and everyday driving. The diesel engine suits buyers covering regular distances, while the S-MAX’s car-like shape feels less bulky than a full-size van-based people carrier. Mycarcheck.com records 40 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a full-market picture. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £2,300, average recorded mileage was 90,000 miles, and cars had about 3.1 previous keepers. Average annual mileage was 3,000 miles, a notably modest figure. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic, the S-MAX is praised for its more engaging drive; check each car’s history and condition.
