2018 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.0L Diesel · AF18 AGO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 35,948 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The prior test on 2025-06-12, just five days earlier, showed a failure but also no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or procedural inconsistency. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no recorded issues, reinforcing that the vehicle has maintained roadworthiness over the past four years. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,948 miles over eight years equates to approximately 4,494 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage aligns with steady annual mileage increases: 17,918 (2022), 24,435 (2023), 30,621 (2024), and 35,948 (2025). The absence of rapid accumulation or extended gaps between tests implies consistent, light usage. However, the low mileage may mask wear on components not tested during MOTs, such as suspension bushes or drivetrain elements, which could require closer inspection. While the MOT records show no defects, the buyer should verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the tests. Focus on suspension components, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or dry rot in bushes and coil springs. Inspect brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common in vehicles with infrequent use. Additionally, check for signs of long-term storage, such as battery degradation or fluid leaks, which are not assessed during standard MOTs. The lack of advisories or failures in the history is positive, but physical verification remains essential.
