Ford Tourneo — MOT Reliability Overview

The Ford Tourneo has an average MOT pass rate of 80.8%, which is 4.3 percentage points below the Ford brand average of 85.1%. This is a strong result, indicating that the Tourneo is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.

The most common reasons a Ford Tourneo fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, body, cab or chassis excessively corroded at a mounting point, a transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc. If you are preparing your Tourneo for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Before buying a used Ford Tourneo, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
