The 2022 Ford S-MAX ST-Line HEV CVT passes its MOT on the first attempt 83.3% of the time, which is a solid 3.3 percentage points above the UK average of 80%—a reliable performer overall with only 4.5% of vehicles ever showing a dangerous defect.

At an average mileage of 27,166 km for a two-year-old model, these cars are running well within normal territory, and the typical owner is encountering fewer than one fault per test. If you're considering this model, check the service history carefully and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid system and CVT gearbox, as these are the components most likely to diverge from the routine wear pattern.
What to check before buying a 2022 Ford S Max ST Line HEV CVT
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
