2017 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · WP67 FLE

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement in maintenance standards. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 49,720 miles recorded no defects or advisories, following a clean pass in September 2024. This indicates that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical concerns and is maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage data reveals a significant discrepancy in usage patterns throughout the history. Between December 2021 at 95,115 miles and November 2023 at 145,526 miles, the vehicle covered over 50,000 miles in under two years. However, the recorded mileage of 49,720 miles in September 2025 represents a massive drop that suggests either an odometer rollback or a significant data entry mistake. This inconsistency must be verified against service records to ensure the low-mile claim is accurate. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and steering components which showed a history of recurring failure. The tester flagged play in the offside steering inner tie rod and rack inner joints between 2020 and 2022. While these appear to have been rectified, the buyer should check for any knocks or uneven steering wheel alignment. Additionally, the nearside rear coil spring mounting damage noted in 2021 warrants a close look for current structural corrosion or metal fractures at that mounting point. The brake history also shows a pattern of neglecting basic consumables, evidenced by the failure in October 2023 due to heavily deteriorated front brake pads and worn discs. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test without issue, the buyer should verify the remaining thickness of the front discs and check for any pitting or glazing, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
