2013 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.2L Diesel · EY63 XFP

The vehicle’s MOT history presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 158,541 miles passing without defects—a pattern consistent since October 2022 , when it last failed due to an unspecified issue (though no details were recorded). The absence of advisories or defects in the past three tests suggests that any prior concerns were addressed promptly, and the vehicle has maintained compliance under regular inspection. This consistency implies that the current owner—or previous owners—have adhered to timely repairs, though the lack of recorded faults in earlier tests makes it impossible to verify whether minor wear items (such as tyres or brakes) were addressed outside of MOT requirements. The mileage accumulation is notably aggressive for a vehicle of this age, averaging 12,195 miles per year over its 13-year lifespan. The gap between the 2022 October tests (138,840–138,841 miles) indicates a rapid 8,772-mile increase in just five days, which is unusual and may reflect either a single long trip or inconsistent odometer recording. More concerning is the three-year gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests (138,841 to 147,613 miles), suggesting the vehicle may have operated without MOT testing for an extended period—a red flag for compliance and potential deferred maintenance. The most recent 10,928-mile interval (2024–2025) aligns with the annual testing requirement, but the prior irregularity raises questions about whether critical checks were neglected. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that may not have been flagged during tests. The braking system —particularly the rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as the 2022 failure (without details) could hint at prior issues. The suspension (bushings, coil springs, and dampers) warrants close examination, given the high mileage; worn components here can compromise handling and safety. Structural integrity is another key area, especially around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion or fatigue cracks may develop over time without being caught in a basic MOT. Finally, while the MOT history shows no tyre-related defects, the tread depth and condition should be verified, as high annual mileage accelerates wear beyond what a single test can detect. The vehicle’s compliance in recent tests is undeniable, but its history of irregular testing and rapid mileage accumulation demands scrutiny of components that typically degrade under heavy use. Without advisories or defects in the past three years, the risk of hidden issues is lower than average—but not absent. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to confirm the condition of brakes, suspension, and structural elements before committing to the purchase.
