2019 Ford S-MAX 1.5L Petrol · CE69 OPY

The 2025‑11‑28 MOT at 45,975 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the same mileage entry also lists a fail for near‑side and off‑side wiper inefficiency, a non‑functional near‑side dipped‑beam headlamp, and an ABS warning lamp, indicating that prior electrical and braking faults were remedied before the successful re‑test. No worsening trend is evident after the 2023 headlamp failure; the recent pass suggests the issues were addressed, though recurring lighting and ABS concerns point to a persistent underlying fault that warrants close scrutiny. Mileage has risen from 26,128 miles in December 2022 to 45,975 miles in November 2025, an average of roughly 6,600 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old vehicle and showing steady accumulation without large gaps or abrupt spikes that would suggest neglect or long periods of standing. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, verify the ABS sensor operation and clear any warning lamps, test the wiper mechanisms for full sweep and clearance, and check the headlamp wiring and alignment for intermittent operation. Additionally, assess tyre wear patterns, particularly edge wear noted at 40,586 miles, look for structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches, and inspect the exhaust system for leaks or excessive noise.
