2019 FORD TOURNEO CONNECT1.5L Diesel

The 2019 Ford Tourneo Connect presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in the last three tests, including the most recent April 2026 inspection at 25,967 miles. The only irregularity is the failed test in September 2023, which appears as an anomaly with no faults logged—likely a procedural or administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. This suggests a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring failures or worsening conditions in critical areas like brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. The vehicle has passed all subsequent tests without advisories, indicating that any underlying concerns were either resolved promptly or never present. The mileage of 25,967 miles over seven years is exceptionally low, averaging just 3,710 miles annually—a figure more typical of a secondary or occasional vehicle rather than a daily driver. The gaps between tests are irregular but not concerning: the October 2024 test occurred 12 months after the September 2023 failure, while the next two tests in April 2025 and April 2026 were spaced 12 months apart. This pattern implies either infrequent use or prolonged storage periods, which could mean reduced wear on consumables like tyres and brakes. However, it also raises the question of whether the vehicle has been subjected to regular servicing beyond MOT compliance, particularly given the lack of advisories or defects in recent years. Given the absence of defects or advisories in the MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components prone to neglect in low-mileage vehicles. Pay particular attention to the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can degrade even with minimal use due to environmental exposure or age-related hardening. Check for signs of corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods in damp or salty conditions. The brakes should be tested for binding or uneven wear, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to moisture-related issues in the hydraulic system. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust, and inspect the tyres for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension problems despite the clean MOT record.
