2015 Ford Tourneo 2.2L Diesel · GV64 OJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the March 2026 test at 41,570 miles addressed critical failures, the record shows a persistent pattern of allowing components to deteriorate until inspection point. The transition from a failure in March 2026 to a pass just one mile later indicates immediate repairs to the front brake discs and CV boot, yet the history suggests the owner only performs mechanical work when legally required to pass the annual test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging only 3,779 miles per year with a recorded total of 41,570 miles. This low usage explains the presence of age-related issues, such as the perishing offside front tyre noted in March 2025 at 36,733 miles. However, the intervals of approximately 5,000 miles between annual tests suggest the car likely sits stationary for long periods, which often leads to surface corrosion and rubber component dry rot despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as the offside front lower suspension arm bushes and rear bushes have been flagged as worn consistently since at least 2024 at 31,271 miles. These recurring advisories indicate the components were not replaced despite multiple warnings, potentially leading to poor handling or uneven tyre wear. The braking system also shows signs of neglect, with discs being pitted and scored across three consecutive years. A physical inspection should verify that the recently replaced front discs and pads were fitted correctly and check the nearside rear brake hose for signs of cracking or improper routing following the previous failure in 2025.
