2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · RX20 CHY

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently compromised following a failed MOT test on 21 July 2026 at 45,317 miles. The maintenance trend shows a concerning shift from minor electrical and component issues to more significant mechanical wear. While previous tests in 2024 and 2025 showed clean passes, the most recent inspection flagged multiple critical failures including significantly worn front brake discs and thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles. The presence of an oil leak, though noted as not excessive, combined with inadequately secured electrical wiring, suggests a decline in the standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 19,545 miles in July 2023 to 40,206 miles in August 2025, and finally 45,317 miles in July 2026. This gradual progression indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. However, the sudden appearance of multiple wear-related failures in the 2026 test suggests that the recent interval of driving has coincided with the natural end of life for several key consumable components. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and the engine bay. The recent failure of the front brake discs and pads, alongside thin rear pads, necessitates a full assessment of the calipers and rotors to ensure no binding or warping issues exist. The reported oil leak requires physical verification to determine if it originates from a minor gasket issue or a more serious seal failure. Given the 2023 failure regarding split CV boots on both the nearside front and offside front drive shafts, the condition of the drivetrain boots and joints should also be checked to ensure they have been correctly replaced and are currently intact.
