Our Verdict
Strongly recommended. This is a low-mileage, well-maintained example of the Tourneo Connect with a remarkably clean MOT history.
Given the low mileage and clean MOT record, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the diesel engine has had its oil and filter changes at the manufacturer's recommended intervals, as low-mileage diesel vehicles can sometimes suffer from short-trip wear if not maintained.
Negotiate based on the remaining tyre tread and brake pad life, as these are wear-and-tear items that won't necessarily appear as MOT failures but will require spending shortly after purchase. Check for any interior wear consistent with its use as a family or utility vehicle.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. As a 2020 model, it should fall into a reasonable CO2 tax bracket, though you should verify the specific VED rate for this registration.
Insurance costs for the Tourneo Connect are generally moderate, but being a larger vehicle, it may be higher than a standard hatchback. Maintenance costs are typically low due to the widespread availability of Ford parts and servicing networks across the UK.
While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still perform a physical inspection of the black paintwork for any stone chips or scratches common on larger fronted vehicles. Check the sliding door mechanisms and rear tailgate for smooth operation, as these are high-use areas in the Tourneo range.
Inspect the underbody for any signs of corrosion, although this is unlikely given the low mileage and age. Verify that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is functioning correctly, especially if the car has been used primarily for short urban journeys.
This 2020 Black Ford Tourneo Connect is in excellent condition based on its recorded history. With only 28,434 miles on the clock as of August 2024, it has been used far less than the typical multi-purpose vehicle. The MOT history is exemplary, showing no recorded defects over the last three years.
While aggregate data for this specific model is limited, the 1.5L diesel powertrain is a common Ford unit known for steady performance.
