2019 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · WR69 CUC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in basic upkeep standards. While the car passed its February 2026 test at 25,056 miles, the tester identified multiple mechanical defects that were absent in previous years. The presence of thin offside rear brake pads and front tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear indicates a shift from proactive maintenance to reactive-only repairs during the most recent interval of ownership. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between February 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in just eleven months. This rapid burst of activity following long periods of low use often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and brake assemblies, as evidenced by the sudden wear noted in 2026 and the wiper blade failure seen in the 2024 test. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the reported edge wear on both front tyres suggests a tracking issue or worn ball joints and suspension bushes. The thin offside rear brake pads require immediate replacement, and the buyer should check for binding calipers given the long periods of low mileage. Additionally, the record confirms the rear passenger seats were missing during the last two tests, so the buyer should verify that all original seating is present and the floor pans are free of damage or corrosion where the seats bolts are located.
