2019 Ford S-MAX 1.5L Diesel · SH69 CVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on November 3, 2023 at 3,306 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates that the vehicle has remained in a passing condition throughout its recorded history, with no mechanical or structural failures flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 472 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 3,111 miles and the November 2023 test, the car covered only 195 miles. Such figures suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary rather than being in regular use. While this reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine-related parts, it often introduces risks associated with fluid degradation and the aging of rubber components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on components affected by long-term storage. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or pitting from inactivity, which can lead to binding or poor braking performance. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verify the condition of the control arm bushes and suspension mounts, as these can become brittle or perish when a vehicle sits for long intervals.
