2014 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.6L Diesel · CX64 ONR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the history reveals a critical structural concern recently addressed. While the car passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 78,012 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior at lower mileage where the tester flagged the front sub-frame as corroded and seriously weakened. This indicates a significant structural repair was necessary, and the presence of such severe corrosion on a vehicle of this age suggests a history of environmental exposure or lack of underbody protection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 71,047 miles and September 2025 at 78,012 miles, the vehicle covered 6,965 miles. This steady rate suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, though the low annual mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components and metal integrity, which aligns with the recurring corrosion issues found in the recent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame to ensure the repairs made after the 2025 failure are robust and that active corrosion has been halted. The offside rear seat belt has been a recurring advisory since at least September 2023, indicating a persistent safety item that the previous owner seemingly ignored across multiple test cycles. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as worn in both 2023 and 2024; the current thickness and condition should be verified to ensure they have not reached the minimum limit, especially given the emissions failure in 2023 suggests the engine's combustion system may require monitoring.
