2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · RX70 AON

The vehicle currently holds a pass following the 10 July 2026 test at 64,775 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening wear. While the 2023 test at 28,959 miles recorded no defects, recent inspections have introduced several advisories. The most recent report identifies imbalanced rear brakes that only just met the required standards, alongside a perishing nearside rear tyre and multiple windscreen chips. This shift from a clean record to a list of consumable and mechanical advisories suggests that the vehicle's upkeep is beginning to lag behind its usage. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical commercial or family vehicle of this age. The car has covered approximately 10,800 miles per year, moving from 28,959 miles in July 2023 to 64,775 miles in July 2026. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The 12,000-mile increments between annual tests indicate a predictable driving pattern, which generally helps in predicting the wear cycles of components like tyres and brake pads. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The July 2026 advisory regarding imbalanced rear brakes indicates that the calipers or pads may be wearing unevenly or that a component is beginning to bind. Given that this is a new issue not present in previous years, it warrants a thorough check for sticking pistons or worn hardware. The nearside rear tyre also requires immediate replacement due to cracking or perishing, which can compromise structural integrity even if tread depth remains sufficient. The recurring mention of windscreen damage from June 2025 through July 2026 suggests the glass has sustained multiple impacts. While these were noted as not adversely affecting the driver's view, the cumulative damage may eventually require a full windscreen replacement. Finally, the repeated presence of child seats preventing full inspection of the rear seatbelts means a buyer must manually verify that the adult seatbelt pretensioners and buckles are fully functional and free from obstruction.
