2021 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · BT21 UTZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 24 February 2026 at 50,436 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test was clean, it failed just four miles prior due to significant structural damage to both nearside and offside rear tyres. The immediate replacement of these components following failure indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by the testing process rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 50,436 miles over five years, the Tourneo Connect averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The records show consistent annual mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between February 2024 and 2025, and another 9,000 miles between February 2025 and 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which can cause seals to perish. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system. The 2024 test flagged thin rear pads, and the 2025 test noted pitted and scored rear brake discs. This progression suggests the rear components are reaching the end of their functional life or are suffering from corrosion. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the pads and ensure the calipers are not binding or seizing. The recurring history of tyre failures, including nails, edge wear, and deep cuts reaching the cords, points to a lack of attention to basic vehicle upkeep. The next owner should inspect the current set of tyres for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given that no structural or emissions issues have been recorded to date, the primary concerns remain the consumable items and the braking assembly to ensure the vehicle continues to operate reliably.
