2020 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · BJ20 WDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglected front end components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 100,577 miles passed, it revealed significant advisories regarding both front tyres exhibiting excessive inner edge wear. This indicates a persistent issue with alignment or suspension geometry that has not been professionally addressed despite the clean result in the previous year at 80,600 miles. The vehicle has accumulated high mileage for its age, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per year. The usage is aggressive; between October 2023 and October 2025, the car covered nearly 37,000 miles, a sharp increase compared to the 23,000-mile interval seen the previous year. This high-frequency usage pattern suggests heavy commercial application or long-distance commuting, which naturally places accelerated strain on the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering components. The recurring reports of offside and nearside front tyres worn on the inner edges strongly suggest tracking issues, worn control arm bushes, or failing ball joints. The failure in October 2023 at 63,175 miles due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp also points to past electrical or sensor faults that should be verified via a diagnostic scan to ensure no lingering fault codes. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the exhaust system for corrosion is essential to ensure the vehicle is not nearing the end of a major maintenance cycle.
