2024 Ford Tourneo Connect Titanium Eblue 2.0L Diesel · SC73 CTX

The DVSA database shows no recorded MOT for this 2024 Ford Tourneo Connect Titanium e‑Blue, which is unsurprising given the vehicle is only two years old and would not yet have reached the first MOT due date. With no test history available it is impossible to comment on any trend in maintenance quality; the absence of data simply means the prospective buyer must rely on the seller’s service records, visual inspection and a thorough pre‑purchase test. Mileage has not been supplied, so a quantitative usage assessment cannot be made. A typical 2024 Tourneo of this specification would be expected to accumulate roughly 8‑12,000 mi per annum, giving a 2026 reading in the region of 16‑24,000 mi. If the odometer shows a figure substantially below this range it may indicate genuinely low utilisation, which can be beneficial for wear‑related components, but it also raises the possibility of odometer tampering or a vehicle that has spent long periods idle. Conversely, a reading well above the norm would suggest high annual mileage and would warrant closer scrutiny of wear items such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and the hybrid battery’s state of health. In either case, request a full service history and any mileage‑verification documentation before proceeding. Given the vehicle’s age, the primary concerns are time‑related rather than mileage‑related. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear, as rubber can degrade after just a few years even on low‑kilometre cars, especially if stored in a warm environment. Examine the 12‑volt starter battery for corrosion on the terminals and test its cranking voltage; a weak battery can cause intermittent electronic faults. The e‑Blue’s high‑voltage hybrid battery should be checked for any warning lights on the dashboard and, if possible, have its state of charge and health verified by a qualified technician, as degradation can begin within the first few years if the vehicle has been predominantly short‑trip or stationary. Verify that all fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the hybrid coolant – are at the correct specifications and show no signs of discoloration or particulate contamination, since fluids can deteriorate with age even without high mileage. Finally, conduct a comprehensive road‑test to confirm the mechanical integrity of the vehicle. Listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, which could indicate worn bushings, ball joints or coil‑spring mounts. Pay attention to brake pedal feel; a spongy or pulsating pedal may reveal air in the system, warped discs or binding calipers that have seized due to inactivity. Observe the steering response for any play or vibration, which could point to worn steering rack components. Ensure all electronic systems – infotainment, driver‑assist features, and the e‑Blue’s regenerative braking – operate without error messages, as software glitches in relatively new models can be costly to rectify if not addressed under warranty. A thorough visual inspection combined with these functional checks will give a realistic picture of the vehicle’s roadworthiness despite the lack of MOT and mileage data.
