2013 Ford Tourneo 2.2L Diesel · GU13 FNX

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-09 recorded two issues: a corroded brake pipe covered in grease and a pitted offside rear brake disc. Both were classified as minor (1.1.11 (c) and 1.1.14 (a) (ii)), but the recurring brake pipe corrosion suggests potential exposure to moisture or inadequate maintenance. The brake disc wear, while not critical, indicates ongoing friction-related degradation. A review of the MOT history reveals a pattern of minor brake system defects, particularly corrosion on brake pipes, dating back to 2024. The 2022 failed MOT highlighted more severe issues, including split CV boots, a fractured coil spring, and worn tyres, but subsequent tests have shown improvement. The 2023 MOT had no recorded defects, and the 2024 and 2025 tests only noted isolated brake-related concerns. This suggests the vehicle’s condition has stabilized in recent years, though recurring corrosion risks remain. The vehicle’s mileage of 55,817 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 4,294 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could indicate light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to corrosion, fluid degradation, or component stiffness. While lower mileage often correlates with less wear on consumables, the presence of brake pipe corrosion and brake disc wear implies potential neglect or environmental exposure.
