2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · CE20 PYZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-08 confirms it passed without defects, though the preceding test just one day earlier—2025-07-07—also failed with no recorded issues, suggesting either a rare administrative anomaly or a brief lapse in test scheduling. The overall maintenance trend remains stable over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or defects beyond the unusual double-testing in 2025. However, the absence of any warnings or advisories in prior tests implies consistent compliance with basic MOT standards, though this does not preclude undocumented wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 122,378 miles at six years old indicates an aggressive usage pattern, averaging roughly 20,400 miles annually—a rate significantly higher than the UK average for this vehicle class. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no extended periods of inactivity, which aligns with the high mileage accumulation. The lack of advisories on suspension, steering, or drivetrain components in prior tests suggests these systems have not yet reached critical failure thresholds, though the prolonged exposure to high mileage demands closer scrutiny of wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes—while not flagged in MOTs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Corrosion at wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust mounts is another critical area; the absence of advisories does not guarantee absence, but the 2020 model year may still have residual rust protection. Finally, the engine bay and transmission should be examined for fluid leaks or degraded hoses, as these are often overlooked until they fail catastically. The double-testing in 2025 warrants confirmation that no unresolved issues were present between tests.
