2021 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI X Mhev 2.0L Electric diesel · CJ21 UBK

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness status with a worsening trend in reactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent MOT on May 28 May 2026 at 148,803 miles, the failure on that same day reveals significant oversights. The presence of an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp is a critical failure, as it masks potential engine faults or emissions issues. This, combined with the immediate failure for thin nearside front brake pads and worn tyres indicates that basic safety consumables were neglected until the annual test intervened. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 30,000 miles per year. A massive usage gap exists between the May 2025 test at 71,120 miles and the May 2026 test at 148,803 miles, representing 77,683 miles covered in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial or long-distance use, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to multiple failures in 2026 highlights that the vehicle is under significant strain and is likely not receiving proactive preventative care. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the replacement of pads has not caused damage to the discs. Given the high mileage and the reported edge wear on the front tyre, the suspension should be checked for uneven alignment issues or leaking shock absorbers. The inoperative MIL requires a professional diagnostic scan to determine if there are stored fault codes related to engine management that the dashboard is hiding. Furthermore, the windscreen damage noted in the latest record should be verified to ensure it has been repaired or corrected according to the pass.
