2015 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.6L Diesel · WD65 BEY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 84,649 miles. While the car has maintained a consistent pass record, the recent MOT shows a recurring trend of minor non-compliance issues regarding external fittings and lighting. The tester flagged an inoperative offside registration plate lamp and a deteriorated front plate, alongside slight handbrake travel and minor damage to the offside mirror glass. These minor advisories suggest a pattern of neglecting small cosmetic and electrical upkeep, though they do not indicate immediate mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 32,511 miles in October 2018 to the current 84,649 miles. This gradual increase suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or light utility work rather than sitting idle for long periods. The lack of sudden mileage spikes indicates predictable wear on consumables and mechanical components. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and exhaust. The October 2024 test at 81,291 miles noted that front brakes were imbalanced and required adjustment or repair. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent 2025 test, the earlier mention of handbrake travel suggests the braking mechanism or cables may need a thorough inspection. The exhaust history shows intermittent issues, including a minor leak and failed emissions in October 2021 at 53,231 miles, so checking the exhaust manifold and pipework for corrosion or leaks is advisable. The history also reveals a recurring neglect of tyre maintenance. Multiple tests, including October 2018, October 2020, and October 2021, flagged tyres worn to or below the legal limit. While this is a consumable issue, the frequency suggests the previous owners occasionally deferred basic maintenance. A physical inspection should confirm the current condition of all four tyres and check for uneven wear that might indicate underlying suspension or alignment problems.
