2015 Ford Tourneo 2.2L Diesel · MT15 FJZ

The most recent MOT result from December 2022 passed, but the history shows a concerning pattern of mechanical issues. The history indicates a recurring problem with suspension components, specifically ball joints and linkages, which caused a failure in December 2022. The trend in the MOT history shows a worsening pattern concerning suspension integrity, as evidenced by the failure in December 2022 citing excessive wear on multiple ball joints and linkages. The mileage of nearly 500,000 miles on a vehicle of this age suggests a high level of usage, which is consistent with increased wear on consumables, suspension parts, brakes, and drivetrain components. A buyer must immediately inspect the front suspension components, particularly the nearside front wheel bearing, the lower suspension arm ball joint, the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, and the track rod end ball joint for any signs of looseness or damage. Secondly, check the condition of the front brake pads as they were noted as wearing thin in previous inspections. Finally, thoroughly examine the tyres, as they were noted as being worn close to the legal limit in the most recent entry, indicating immediate replacement may be necessary.
