2019 Ford Tourneo MOT pass rate: 85.8% (6,942 tests)
Is the 2019 Tourneo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 88.0% -1.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 85.2% -3.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 84.1% -3.0 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs
Is a 2019 Ford Tourneo reliable?
2019-registered examples passed 85.8% of their MOT tests (6,942 tests, 2023–2025), -2.6 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 7 years old with a median 39,885 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.
What mileage is too high for a 2019 Tourneo?
The median tested example shows 39,885 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
Should I buy the petrol or diesel 2019 Tourneo?
In this cohort petrols pass 89.7% of tests against 84.0% for diesels. Mileage and use can explain part of that gap, so treat it as a reason to inspect DPF and emissions history, not a fuel-type verdict.
