2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.0L Diesel · CV20 EWP

The Ford Tourneo Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2025 at 14,283 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or recurring faults appear across the history, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening mechanical or structural issues. Mileage remains exceptionally low for a 2020 model. The record shows 5,251 miles at the July 2023 tests, rising only to 6,008 miles by 30 April 2024 and then jumping to 14,283 miles by March 2025. That final-year increase of over 8,000 miles follows two years of near-dormant use, suggesting the van stood idle for long periods before a recent spell of heavier activity. The sparse, clean test history gives little evidence of neglected consumables but offers no insight into standing-related degradation. A buyer should physically inspect for corrosion on structural members and underbody components, as prolonged standing in the earlier life can promote unseen rust despite clean MOTs. The tester should check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration linked to intermittent use and the recent mileage surge. Verify the condition of tyres and brake calipers, since the 2025 test logged no advisories yet covered only 8,000 miles of newer wear. Given the low annual averages and single failed test on 13 July 2023 with no defects cited, the failure likely involved administrative or minor non-mechanical causes rather than owner neglect. The vehicle's record implies careful, if infrequent, use, but an independent inspection remains warranted to confirm drivetrain and emissions integrity beyond the DVSA data.
