The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 30 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded On rear axle. (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
Given the MOT failure on multiple brake pipes due to corrosion, this vehicle should be inspected by a specialist before purchase. Budget for replacement brake pipes (front nearside, front offside, and rear axle), rear brake pads, and potentially rear brake discs, as the most recent test identified pitting and scoring on the rear discs. The coolant leak noted in 2024 on the rear heater pipes should also be investigated, as this could indicate ongoing cooling system deterioration. Negotiate the asking price down to account for these likely repair costs, or request that the seller address them prior to sale.
Request any available service history documentation, particularly evidence of brake fluid changes and any previous brake pipe inspections or replacements. A 2018 diesel Tourneo with 52,038 miles should have had at least one major service, and the absence of records could compound the concerns raised by the MOT history. Check the timing belt replacement schedule — although the 2.0 TDCi engine uses a timing chain, verify this has been inspected. Inspect the vehicle underside thoroughly for any additional corrosion beyond what was flagged at MOT.
The 2.0-litre diesel Tourneo typically returns around 40-45 mpg in mixed driving, making it reasonably economical for a vehicle of this size. As a diesel registered September 2018, it falls into a moderate road tax band, likely costing around £165-£190 annually depending on the exact variant. Insurance for this vehicle typically falls into group 25-30, so expect premiums in the £450-£650 range for an average driver.
Maintenance costs for this diesel Tourneo are moderate, but the brake corrosion issues identified in the MOT history suggest this particular vehicle may need additional investment in the braking system soon. Budget approximately £300-£500 for comprehensive brake pipe and component replacement if all flagged issues are addressed. Including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance with the likely brake repairs, total annual running costs are estimated at £2,000-£2,500.
Focus the pre-purchase inspection on the brake system, given the MOT failure. Have the vehicle raised and inspect all brake pipes for corrosion, paying particular attention to the rear axle and front sections where corrosion was flagged. Check the rear brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the test, and measure disc thickness against manufacturer specifications to determine if they need replacement now or soon. Examine the front fog lamp and its wiring/connector for the cause of the failure noted in September 2025.
The coolant leak on the rear heater pipes identified in 2024 should be inspected, as heater matrix and pipe failures on diesel Tourneos can lead to coolant loss and potential overheating. Check under the vehicle for any signs of coolant staining. Additionally, while the MOT record does not flag headlamp, tyre, or drive shaft issues (which are the top failure reasons for this model according to aggregate data), these should still be checked during inspection. Verify that all tyres have adequate tread depth and are of matching brand and age, and check the drive shaft boots for splits or grease leaks.
This 2018 Ford Tourneo with a 2.0-litre diesel engine has covered 52,038 miles across five recorded MOT tests. While it has passed four of five tests, the most recent test (2025) revealed significant brake system defects including excessively corroded brake pipes on both front sides and the rear axle. Two earlier tests passed with no defects, but the 2024 test noted brake pad wear and a coolant leak on the rear heater pipes, indicating a pattern of brake and cooling system concerns.
Based on aggregate MOT data from 14,378 Ford Tourneo vehicles, this model has an 82.0% MOT pass rate, with headlamp, tyre, and drive shaft joint issues being the most common failure reasons. This particular vehicle's brake pipe corrosion does not align with the most common model-wide failures.
