2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 T-Nium Mhev 2.0L Diesel · HW20 HZT

The most recent MOT test on 2026-04-09 confirms this Ford Tourneo Custom remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 70,928 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—including the most recent—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for February 2024 (one pass, one fail) appears anomalous and may warrant clarification. No recurring issues have been logged, which aligns with the vehicle’s MHEV hybrid system and rear-wheel-drive layout typically requiring fewer MOT interventions than conventional models. The lack of advisories on suspension, steering, or structural components over six years implies no escalating wear trends, though this does not preclude hidden deterioration. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 11,800 miles annually—a rate that aligns with typical commercial or light fleet operation. The gap between tests varies, with the longest interval (12 months) between April 2025 and February 2024, yet no failures emerged during that period. The sudden duplicate test in February 2024 (49,891 miles) stands out, potentially indicating a rushed or administrative error rather than mechanical urgency. There is no evidence of prolonged inactivity, which could have accelerated wear on fluids or seals, nor rapid mileage accumulation that might suggest neglect. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear consumables not covered by the test: rear brake pads and discs (particularly if the vehicle is loaded frequently), coil springs and suspension bushes (for signs of corrosion or cracking), and the hybrid battery cooling system (for leaks or degraded thermal performance). The absence of advisories on tyres in prior tests suggests tread depth should still be verified, though the last MOT’s clean bill implies no imminent failure. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, especially in the UK’s salted winter conditions, as structural integrity is not routinely assessed in MOTs. The hybrid system’s cooling lines and connectors should be checked for leaks or fraying, as these are not MOT-tested but critical to long-term reliability.
