Used Ford models: Ford S-Max

Ford is an American icon, but in Germany it is seen as a traditional local brand with headquarters in Cologne and Saarland. The brand's core competencies over the years have been: fair prices and a number of rather conservatively designed models. After a "restart" program, the brand's model range will be seriously thinned.

The used car market will continue to be well represented, however: in the small car segment, the Ka and Ka+ are available. Over the years, the Fiesta has grown into a very mature small car. The Golf is now being competed with by the Focus. As a large, comfortable and affordable old-school long-distance car, the Mondeo stands out.

Vans are also a specialty of the brand. Interesting are the Fiesta-based B-Max, the Focus-derived C-Max, as well as the Mondeo-based S-Max and Galaxy. The Kuga is a preferred model in the compact SUV segment.

The Ecosport and Edge are more of a niche model. The Puma and Mustang Mach E mark Ford's new direction. Add the legendary Mustang as a true Muscle Car and the GT is an exotic competitor to the Italian mid-engined sports cars. Of course, Ford also offers the rustic Ranger pickup truck and the XL-SUV Explorer XLT.

What we don't like

Oil leak

Manufacturing weaknesses

The S-Max offers extremely generous space, with room for up to seven people on board. The first generation was produced until 2014, followed by the modernized second generation of the Ford S-Max with a much more refined design.

For everyday use, a wide range of engines is offered - from economical to powerful, with the 190 hp diesel unit being the most suitable. Some unpleasant issues have impressed TÜV: the S-Max, which has been running on a high mileage, is characterized by oil leaks and problems with the EGR and turbocharger. A large number of service actions, including corrosion on the rear suspension.
