2014 Ford Tourneo 2.2L Diesel · LF14 CWZ

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness state, showing a trend of worsening mechanical neglect and reactive-only maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 27 August 2025, this success followed a comprehensive failure just one week prior. The volume of faults identified in the August 2025 failure—ranging from worn brake discs and deteriorated CV boots to multiple suspension arm failures—suggests that components are only being addressed when forced by an MOT failure rather than being maintained through routine preventative care. The mileage data indicates high-intensity usage for a 2014 model. Between November 2023 at 147,555 miles and August 2025 at 200,149 miles, the vehicle covered over 52,000 miles in less than two years. This represents a rate of approximately 26,000 miles per annum, significantly above the national average, which explains the accelerated wear on consumable parts like suspension bushes and brake discs. The rapid accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle is used heavily, placing immense strain on the undercarriage components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record consistently flags corrosion on the brake pipes across multiple years, which are noted covered in grease, potentially an attempt to hide surface rust from the tester. Particular attention is required to the state of the nearside front suspension arm, ball joints, and track rod ends, as these have shown recurring issues of excessive play and deterioration. The minor exhaust leak noted in 2025 should also be verified to ensure it has not progressed into a structural failure of the manifold or system.
