How ULEZ rules apply to the Tourneo Connect
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (96% of Tourneo Connects tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2005 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (4% of Tourneo Connects tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Tourneo Connects from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (18% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Ford can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Ford Tourneo Connect for London: what the MOT data shows
The Ford Tourneo Connects in this data were first registered between 2004 and 2021. 2016 was the most common year, with 2,386 tests (19% of the total), and half were registered in 2017 or later.
Tourneo Connects from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 80% of the time, at an average of 42,770 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 44% of the time with 136,212 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Tourneo Connects likely to comply are from 2016. 2,359 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 81% of the time and averaged 64,196 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Tourneo Connect's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (3.4% of tests); brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (2.7%); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (2.3%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 18.3% of tests.
Overall, 78% of Tourneo Connects passed first time, noticeably above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 51,154 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
