2016 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · DK16 EEV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding tyre-related neglect. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 49,150 miles passed, the tester flagged advisories for all four tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a recurring pattern seen in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the owner has consistently deferred tyre replacement until they reached a critical state. At ten years old, the 2016 Ford Tourneo Connect has clocked low mileage, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, yet the data shows a shift in vehicle care between the clean record of June 2022 at 34,847 miles and the subsequent appearance of multiple defects. The vehicle covered roughly 14,000 miles between the 2022 and 2025 tests, which represents a consistent but low usage pattern that does not justify the rapid wear patterns observed on the rubber components. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated reports of inner and outer edge wear across multiple axles suggest a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2021 test noted thin front brake pads, and while the low mileage should preserve components, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also check for dry rot in rubber components and perished brake hoses, which often affect vehicles that sit stationary for long periods between uses.
