FORD TOURNEO CUSTOM 320 TNIUM EBLUE2020 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2024 at 103,540 miles passed, yet it revealed multiple advisories related to basic wear and neglect. While the vehicle meets minimum standards, the presence of recurring wear-related faults suggests the previous owner only addressed issues when they approached failure rather than performing routine inspections. The van has covered significant mileage for its six-year age, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 77,656 miles and the February 2024 test at 103,540 miles, the vehicle clocked 25,884 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation places considerable strain on the heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension, drivetrain, and braking system, which is consistent with high-use or long-distance motorway use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2024 record flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, alongside perishing on both rear outer tyres. These findings indicate potential alignment issues or incorrect inflation pressures. The buyer should also check the condition of the brake discs and pads for excessive thinning, as the high mileage accelerates the degradation of these consumables. Given the age and usage, inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion and checking suspension bushes for play is essential to ensure the vehicle integrity has not suffered under heavy loading.
