2016 Ford Tourneo 2.0L Diesel · LT66 WCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in standards of care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 118,869 miles resulted in a failure due to a stop lamp malfunction and low coolant levels. While the vehicle passed on the retest, the presence of worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes on both rear sides indicates that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,900 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and another 11,900 miles between June 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing, though the jump from a clean 2023 record to where with were found at the legal limit indicates that basic consumable maintenance was likely neglected until the MOT forced an action. A buyer must inspect the cooling system thoroughly, as the low coolant level recorded in 2025 suggests a potential leak that could lead to engine overheating issues if ignored. The worn rear anti-roll bar linkages should be replaced as a pair to ensure vehicle stability and prevent future knocks. Furthermore, given the 2024 advisory regarding front tyres being worn on the edge, a professional wheel alignment is necessary to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing uneven premature tyre wear. The missing nearside rear bumper end is a cosmetic defect but should be checked for any underlying impact damage to the mounting brackets.
