2015 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · MX65 FVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in August 2025 at 114,789 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures regarding lighting, tyres, and axle components. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of worn tyres and minor mechanical failures suggests that parts are only replaced once they reach the point of legal failure or critical limit thresholds. At 114,789 miles over 11 years, the Tourneo Connect averages approximately 10,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 13,500 miles covered between the August 2024 test at 101,859 miles and the August 2025 test. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing components like seals and brakes from seizing due to long stationary periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the tester flagged both nearside and offside axle swivel pins and bushes for age-related splits in 2025. While these were noted as advisories following the pass, the degradation of rubber bushes often leads to handling instability and premature component wear. The history also shows a pattern of poor tyre management, with edge wear noted in both 2023 and 2025, which may indicate an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that have not been fully rectified. The missing central mirror noted in the 2025 record is a non-obligatory item but reflects a lack of attention to detail. Given the previous failures regarding headlight aim in 2024 and 2025, the buyer should verify that the light assemblies are securely seated and the internal adjusters function without play. Focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the underbody, as the record does not currently highlight significant corrosion or rust-related failures.
