2015 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.6L Diesel · CX15 AEU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 March 2026 at 152,070 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent test resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its initial attempt on the same day, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor items rectified immediately by the presenter. This pattern of clean passes across the last three years indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition despite its advanced age and high usage. Accumulating 152,070 miles over an eleven-year period results in an average of approximately 13,825 miles per annum. This reflects consistent, heavy usage rather than periods of neglect or long-term storage. The mileage progression remains steady between March 2024 and March 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 16,500 miles during that two-year window. This suggests the Tourneo Connect has been utilised as a working vehicle, likely for long-distance motorway travel, which typically places less stress on drivetrain components than short-trip urban driving. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical components that often escape MOT scrutiny. Given the high mileage, inspect the clutch operation and dual-mass flywheel for signs of chatter or slipping, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Ford diesel engines. Check the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these parts endure significant stress over this distance. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as the MOT test only confirms their current functionality rather than their remaining service life. Finally, examine the underside for any signs of corrosion or oil leaks, as the clean test history does not preclude the presence of minor fluid seepage common in engines with this level of service.
