Is there a way to find out if my current roof has ventilation?

More of a curiosity thing, I don't have major condensation issues or anything but I have non breathable membrane and I can't see any ventilation in my roof.

There's none in the soffits, there is 2 roof vents but they are connected to bathroom extractors. Is there anywhere else to look? The house is 30 years old so not sure if over fascia board vents were a thing then?

I literally can't see any anywhere BUT a smaller roof void over my downstairs toilet and hallway has 2 roof vents not connected to an extractor fan so baffled as to why they would fit them there but not on my much larger main roof.
 
If there's no condensation, why worry.
There might be sufficient cross-flow ventilation in the main roof, but no cross-flow ventilation in the toilet roof space.

The main roof is a normal roof with 2 sides of eaves. The toilet roof space is a lean to roof that abuts the house wall.

If you look at the roof and can't see any means of ventilation, then it doesn't have any.
 
You can see the tiles sticking up, the extra height, and you can see all the other neighbouring houses built at the same time.
