2013 Ford Tourneo 2.2L Diesel · CE13 VMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in May 2026 at 114,327 miles identified a minor hydraulic leak misting from the steering rack pipe. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of a component degradation that will require monitoring. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a stable record of passes, despite recurring issues related to consumable items. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old Ford MPV, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 8,800 miles between June 2025 and May 2026. This regular use is generally preferable to long periods of standing, which can cause seals to dry out, though the total mileage suggests that drivetrain and suspension components are now reaching their expected age-related wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and alignment, as the record shows recurring issues with uneven wear. In 2023 and 2025, the tester flagged tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on edges, which often indicates incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. The failure in 2023 due to a split CV boot on the offside outer drive shaft also necessitates a physical check of all rubber boots for tearing or grease leakage, which can lead to premature joint failure. The steering system requires close attention following the hydraulic fluid misting noted in the 2026 test. An inspector should check for significant fluid loss or steering pumpiness to determine if the rack or pipe leak is escalating. Given that no structural corrosion or brake failures were recorded in the history, the primary focus should remain on the mechanical integrity of the steering assembly and the condition of the suspension components to ensure the vehicle remains safe for high mileage.
