2016 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · J3 URA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on July 14, 2025 at 97,706 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This result shows an improving trend compared to the previous year where minor consumable issues were identified and addressed. The absence of failures in the latest inspection suggests that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal safety standards for road use. At 97,706 miles over ten years, the van has averaged approximately 9,771 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a jump of 7,342 miles between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 3,313 miles in the year leading to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyres, as the records from 2023 and 2024 repeatedly flagged multiple tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This recurring issue often indicates wheel alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that may not have been fully rectified. While the 2025 test was clean, a close look at the chassis for corrosion and the condition of shock absorber mounts remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle approaches the six-figure mileage mark.
