2019 Ford Tourneo Custom 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · BD69 FZR

The 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with all three most recent tests—conducted on 2025-12-02, 2024-05-17, and 2023-01-26—resulting in clean passes at 15,970, 1,501, and 2,393 miles respectively. No defects or advisories were recorded during any of these tests, suggesting the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures or structural issues that would warrant repeated attention. The most recent MOT, just five months ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK roadworthiness standards, though a thorough pre-purchase inspection is still essential to verify the absence of latent problems not detectable through a test alone. The recorded mileage of 15,970 miles at the time of the latest test indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging around 2,281 miles per year over the past three years. This pattern is notable for its consistency rather than its accumulation, with the vehicle covering just 1,501 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests—a span of 11 months—before a slightly higher 2,393 miles in the preceding year. Such low mileage could imply extended periods of storage, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health due to lack of movement. Conversely, it reduces the likelihood of high-mileage consumables such as brake pads or tyres being critically worn, though standing fluids can still degrade seals and hoses over time. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer’s priority during an inspection should focus on areas commonly overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. The suspension—particularly the condition of rear coil springs, track arms, and bushes—should be examined for signs of perishing or corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can embrittle rubber components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even if the MOT did not flag them, given that low usage can lead to rust-induced sticking. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, must also be scrutinised for corrosion, as standing water accelerates deterioration in hidden areas. Finally, the battery and its connections should be tested for sulfation or corrosion, as a vehicle left unused can develop parasitic drains or degraded terminals. While the MOT history is reassuring, these elements require hands-on verification to ensure they remain serviceable beyond their last official assessment.
