Verdict

Good choice, check first

Ludospace 5 places au grand volume de chargement. CarVerif juge la fiabilité du 1.8 TDCi perfectible (injecteurs, EGR, turbo, distribution), et Carwise signale une corrosion du berceau jugée critique pour la sécurité : ces deux points sont chacun cités par un seul site et restent à confirmer.

Not enough listings collected yet in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy or the United Kingdom for this model.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • Production ended in 2013: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Ford Tourneo Connect”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Inspecter le berceau et les bas de caisse : corrosion signalée sur cette génération.
  • Exiger la preuve du remplacement de la courroie de distribution (tous les 100 000 km selon CarVerif).
  • Écouter le moteur à froid et vérifier l'absence de fumée anormale (injecteurs, turbo).
  • Contrôler l'historique de la vanne EGR et du turbo.
  • Vérifier les traces d'usage utilitaire (portes coulissantes, plancher de chargement).

Questions to ask the seller

  • La courroie de distribution a-t-elle été remplacée, à quel kilométrage ?
  • Les injecteurs, l'EGR ou le turbo ont-ils déjà été changés ?
  • Le berceau a-t-il été contrôlé ou traité contre la corrosion ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
