2016 Ford Tourneo 2.0L Diesel · RF16 YCM

The 2016 Ford Tourneo presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 2 December 2025 passing cleanly at 76,809 miles and recording zero defects. This marks a notable improvement from the preceding test on 11 December 2024, where the tester flagged a worn offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush at 64,159 miles. That advisory, while not severe enough to cause a failure, indicated the onset of wear in a critical front-end component. The subsequent clean pass in December 2025 suggests the issue was addressed, pointing to a responsible ownership pattern rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is broadly consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age. Between December 2024 and December 2025, the van covered approximately 12,650 miles, a step up from the roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year recorded in earlier years when annual totals ranged from around 6,887 to 16,045 miles between tests. The earlier lower annual figures may reflect lighter use or periods of reduced activity, while the recent uptick could indicate a return to regular commercial or high-mileage duty. No alarming gaps appear in the test history, with annual December passes providing a consistent and reliable data trail. Prospective buyers should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the cleanest result. The 2024 advisory concerning the offside front lower suspension arm bush warrants a close check of the nearside equivalent and all front suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for uneven wear or deterioration. At nearly 77,000 miles, brake discs, pads, and calipers merit particular scrutiny for any signs of binding or uneven wear, especially on the rear axle where such issues commonly develop on high-use vans. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners, including the spare if fitted, should be verified, as recurring tyre wear patterns can reveal underlying alignment or suspension geometry faults that a static MOT inspection may not fully expose.
