FORD TOURNEO2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring wear and tear that requires more proactive attention. While the most recent test in October 2025 passed, it revealed several new issues including a coolant leak from the rear heater pipes and a corroded offside brake pipe. These findings suggest that components are being addressed only when they reach a point of failure rather than as part of a preventative regimen. The Ford has covered 92,268 miles over nine years, averaging approximately 10,252 miles per year, which is consistent with its age. There was a gap of roughly 8,200 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 7,000 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. This steady usage indicates a regular driving pattern, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber and metal components seen throughout the inspection history. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension system, as front suspension arms and rear anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged for wear or play across multiple years. The recent discovery of a coolant leak in the rear heater pipes is a significant concern, as these leaks can be difficult and expensive to rectify once located. Additionally, the corrosion on the offside brake pipe needs to be assessed to ensure it has not progressed to the point of imminent hydraulic failure. The braking system has shown a history of thin pads and pitted discs, indicating that the buyer should verify the current thickness of all friction materials. Given the previous failures related to insufficient washer fluid and perished tyres, the buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear and sidewall cracking. Ensuring that the rear child seats do not obscure inspections is also necessary for a full assessment of the.
