Fitment questions
What generations did the Ford S-Max come in, and does this affect which bonnet strut I need?
The Ford S-Max ran in two generations: the first generation (Mk1) covered 2006 to 2015, and the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2015 onwards. The bonnet and its supporting struts are specific to each generation, so a Mk1 strut will not fit a Mk2 and vice versa. When sourcing a used part, make sure the breaker confirms their strut matches your generation against your registration.
Does a bonnet strut from a pre-facelift S-Max Mk1 fit a facelifted Mk1?
The Mk1 S-Max received a facelift around 2010, which brought changes to the front end including the bonnet profile on some variants. Whether the strut itself interchanges across the pre-facelift and post-facelift Mk1 boundary is not something we can state as fact, so you should confirm with the breaker using both your registration and theirs before buying.
Will a bonnet strut from a 2008 S-Max fit my 2013 S-Max?
A 2008 S-Max is a pre-facelift Mk1, while a 2013 S-Max is a post-facelift Mk1, so they sit either side of the approximate 2010 facelift boundary. The bonnet design may differ across that boundary, which means the strut may or may not interchange — you should ask the breaker to verify fitment against your specific registration rather than assume it will swap straight across.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet strut I need — for example, does a Titanium strut differ from an Zetec or Titanium X?
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the S-Max — the bonnet and its gas struts are shared across the range regardless of whether the car is a Zetec, Titanium, or Titanium X. The only meaningful fitment boundaries are generation (Mk1 vs Mk2) and facelift period, not trim. You may find cosmetic differences in the surrounding panels or bonnet finish, but the strut mechanism itself is unaffected by trim.
Does the engine size or type matter when buying a used S-Max bonnet strut?
No — the bonnet strut on the S-Max is the same regardless of whether the car has a petrol or diesel engine, or which specific engine variant it carries. Bonnet struts are a front-body component shared across the engine range within a given generation. Focus your search on matching the generation and facelift period to your car rather than the engine code.
Does the Ford S-Max actually have bonnet struts, or does it use a rod to hold the bonnet up?
The Ford S-Max does use gas-charged bonnet struts rather than a traditional prop rod, so this is a genuine part you can source from a breaker. There are typically two struts, one on each side of the bonnet, and both can wear or fail over time, causing the bonnet to drop or not stay raised. When buying used, confirm with the breaker whether they are selling a single strut or a pair, and check the part matches your generation.
