2019 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · WG69 DFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in July 2025 at 61,972 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The July 2025 test initially failed just two miles prior due to thin brake pads on both rear axles, front tyres reaching the legal tread limit, and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the frequency of these faults suggests the owner only addresses components once they reach a failure point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,850 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between July 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered only 1,024 miles. Since that period, usage has increased significantly, with 15,799 miles covered in the two years leading up to the most recent test. This suggests the vehicle has transitioned from light use to a more demanding daily role, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables like brakes and tyres seen in the later inspection records. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads and the 2025 failure confirmed thin rear pads, indicating a potential need for a full brake service. Furthermore, the previous report of play in the offside track rod end ball joint in 2024 requires a physical inspection of the steering linkage to ensure no further wear has developed in the suspension. The tyre pressure monitoring system should also be verified against the dashboard to ensure the previous fault was fully resolved and not merely cleared.
