2015 Ford Tourneo 2.2L Diesel · EA65 KYB

The most recent MOT from February 2025 shows a pass, but it follows a failure in late 2024 regarding an inoperative driver's airbag. While the airbag issue appears to have been addressed, the vehicle's history reveals a persistent pattern of corrosion and wear in specific areas. A significant risk pattern is evident regarding the braking system and suspension. There has been a recurring issue with brake pipe corrosion dating back to at least 2021. While the most recent tests do not list brake pipe failures, the subframe and suspension components have shown signs of corrosion and bushing wear. The suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting that while they were deemed safe enough to pass, they are reaching the end of their effective life. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be shifting from corrosion-related issues toward mechanical wear in the suspension. While the brake pipe issues were noted in previous years, the recent focus on suspension bushings indicates that components are beginning to degrade as the vehicle is used. With only 21,587 miles recorded over 11 years, this Ford Tourneo has been driven significantly less than average. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also imply long periods of sitting stationary.
