2015 Ford Tourneo

CarHunch analysed 2,446 real MOT records for the 2015 Ford Tourneo. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2015 Ford Tourneo passes MOT at 81.3%, marginally above the UK average of 80%, but nearly a third of these vans (31.8%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a red flag that warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Diesel is the only option in this cohort, and the pass rate holds steady across the board.

At nearly 107,000 miles on average, these vans are well-used workhorses, yet they're still generating 2.14 failures per test and 14.1 advisories, suggesting wear is catching up with age. Before buying, get a full history check and specifically ask the seller about any dangerous defect records—nearly one in three of these vehicles have flagged one.

What to check before buying a 2015 Ford Tourneo

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 31.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
