I have bought a 2012 s max 2.0 tdci 163 titanium x sport online without viewing the car, I wouldn't normally do this but it's 135 miles away. So I pick it up fri 10th April. It's low mileage and looks immaculate(don't all photos though) fdsh. Is there anything I need to check the vehicle for specifically??

It in white to which when I started looking for a s max I categorically did not want white. However after viewing and driving and white one near me I changed my mind.

Any problem areas I need to check?

Noises etc?

I have a 2007 mondeo titanium x now which is going in px so used to fords.

    Is it auto or manual? If auto make sure its had a gearbox service if its around the 35k mileage mark. Not done on a normal service and has to be specified at service time. Anywhere from £250 / £350 so maybe factor the cost in. Roof blind needs to open & retract 100% with no binding or sagging of any sort, about £1K to replace with labour. The rest is common sense, make sure EVERYTHING works.
