2020 Ford Tourneo 1.5L Diesel · FH69 YJO

The vehicle achieved a pass at its most recent MOT on 4 September 2025 at 44,095 miles, following an immediate retest after a failure on the same day at 44,091 miles. This indicates the identified defects were rectified promptly. However, the pattern of failures in the preceding two years reveals a concerning trend of recurring brake and tyre issues, suggesting maintenance was often reactive rather than preventative. The overall roadworthiness status based on the final outcome is passed, but the historical trend is unstable with repeat faults in critical safety components. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage shows steady use from 19,017 miles in July 2023 to 35,036 miles in September 2024, and finally 44,095 miles in September 2025, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing sequence from 2023 onwards, and the rate of increase is linear, indicating regular use without periods of extreme disuse or high-intensity operation that might accelerate wear beyond the norm. A buyer must inspect the front braking system in detail, specifically the pad thickness and disc condition, as these failed twice within a short mileage span. The history of worn tyres, including a sidewall cut and uneven edge wear, points to potential suspension alignment issues or poor tyre quality. Examine all tyres for residual damage, uneven tread patterns, and ensure the sidewall cut was on a tyre that was subsequently replaced. Furthermore, check the suspension bushes and tracking, as repeated tyre wear on the edges often indicates binding or misalignment in these components. The absence of structural corrosion advisories is positive, but the recurring brake and tyre faults warrant a hands-on verification of these items before purchase.
