2019 Ford S-MAX 2.0L Diesel · FE69 XHS

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance history over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 June 2026 at 40,971 miles resulted in a pass with only two minor defects noted. This follows a three-year period of clean records where the vehicle showed no mechanical or structural failures during annual testing. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,853 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 26,307 miles and the June 2026 test at 40,971 miles, the car covered 14,664 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components, though low-mile vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if left stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front tyre, as the 2026 record flagged it as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven suspension wear that requires immediate attention. The deteriorated rear registration plate is a cosmetic concern that does not affect mechanical integrity but should be replaced to ensure clear visibility. Given the clean history, the primary focus should remain on checking the chassis for signs of surface rust and ensuring the brakes have not seized due to low annual usage.
