FORD TOURNEO2015 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 28, 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The failure in March 2026 at 81,837 miles was extensive, flagging multiple critical failures including parking brake efficiency, drivetrain components, and steering linkage issues. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test just five weeks later, the high volume of faults recorded in a single session suggests that the owner only addressed issues once they reached the point of legal non-compliance. At 81,842 miles over 11 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,440 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for a passenger van. However, the data shows a significant spike in usage between February 2024 (61,998 miles) and March 2026 (81,837 miles), where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in just two years. This accelerated wear likely correlates with the rapid degradation observed on consumables, such as the brake system and rubber components noted in the recent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension hardware. The record shows recurring corrosion on the offside front and rear brake pipes, which were covered in grease, potentially an attempt to mask the extent of the rust from the tester. The previous failure of the offside front CV boot and the nearside track rod end dust cover indicates that the rubber bushings and steering joints are reaching or past the end of their service life. It is essential to verify that the parking brake now operates fully across both wheels, as this was a major failure point in the March 2026 test.
