Ok thanks - 

its the law... part introduced in 2012 and clarified as mandatroy in 2016, that all european cars have to have the ability to inform the driver of low tyre pressures

VAG had a fight and got to hold on to the crappy ABS sensor idea (and as cheap, other's got on that bandwagaon on the back of that tweak in the rules), proper manufacturers stayed with the far more sophpisticated real sensors in the wheel idea.  Quite why they then didn't bother to have all models display the individual tyre readings the sensors know about is another matter)

if you have real TPMS the sensor its part of the valve stem, its now part of the MOT these must work where fitted.  The sensors are dead cheap on a ford you can get them for 15 quid

 

 

The valve stems on the Tpms are  secured to the Tpms with a very small torqs screw. Easily replaced without the need for a new Tpms unit.

No seals, only a valve required . We are talking about the rubber valve types and not the metal ones? , On my image shows the rubber valve in green and a metal valve is shown in blue

Most tyre places (National tyres, etc) sell a service kit which includes new stem, seal, cap. I'm not sure on Fords but some sensors need the battery changing every few years as well.

My old 2014 Fiesta ST had the metal valves which kept leaking, the OP has a 2015my so i wasn't sure if he has metal or rubber valves?

I know Ford changed to rubber ones but i'm not sure when
