2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 Tnium Eblue 2.0L Diesel · RX70 ANP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, though the maintenance trend has deteriorated since 2024. While it passed the most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 61,230 miles, the tester recorded a significant volume of advisories. These include thin front brake pads, oil misting on both front shock absorbers, and perishing or damaged rubber on all four tyres. This represents a sharp decline in condition compared to the clean pass achieved the previous year. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,205 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between the September 2023 test at 32,222 miles and the August 2024 test at 44,640 miles, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in less than a year. The mileage has remained static at 61,230 miles since the August 2025 test, suggesting the vehicle has been standing for nearly a year. A buyer must prioritise the inspection of the tyres and suspension. The 2025 report flags perishing and cracking across all four tyres, which often occurs when a vehicle sits idle for long periods. The oil misting on both front shock absorbers indicates the seals are failing, which will eventually compromise ride quality and tyre wear. These are not simple consumables but signs of aging components that require replacement. The braking system shows a recurring pattern of neglect. The tester flagged thin front brake pads in September 2023 at 32,222 miles and again in August 2025 at 61,230 miles. This suggests the owner ignored the initial advisory for nearly two years. A physical inspection should verify if the brake discs have suffered scoring or corrosion due to this delayed maintenance and the recent period of inactivity.
