2017 FORD TOURNEO2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 105,226 miles identified multiple mechanical and wear issues, including thin front inner brake pads and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of these defects suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds rather than being replaced during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use passenger vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 20,000 miles between November 2021 and December 2022, during which the vehicle maintained a clean record with no recorded defects. Since that period, the mileage has accumulated at a steady rate of roughly 5,000 to 10,000 miles per annum. This increase in usage correlates directly with the appearance of recurring wear on the tyres and suspension components seen in the later MOT entries. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the entire suspension system, as the record shows a developing issue with worn bushes and arm arms. The 2026 advisory regarding the offside front suspension indicates that the rubber components are beginning to degrade, which will lead to uneven tyre wear if not handled. Furthermore, the persistent history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or edges from 2022 through 2026 suggests a potential alignment issue or chronic neglect of basic maintenance. The buyer should verify the brake pad life across all wheels, as the tester already flagged thin front inner pads during the latest inspection.
