2021 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI X Mhev 2.0L Electric diesel · FP21 BUO

The 2021 Ford Tourneo Custom presents a stable and currently sound mechanical state, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 27 February 2026 at 95,822 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is firmly resolving, following a failed test on 30 April 2024 at 69,880 miles. Curiously, that failure lists no recorded defects, yet the vehicle passed a retest on 1 May 2024 at the identical mileage, also with no defects. This suggests an administrative anomaly or an aborted test rather than a rectified mechanical fault. Since then, the vehicle has passed two consecutive tests cleanly, indicating the previous owner addressed whatever caused the initial rejection and has maintained the vehicle to a compliant standard. Accumulating 95,822 miles over five years equates to an annual average of 19,164 miles, a high mileage rate for a vehicle of this age. The record shows rapid accumulation between the 2024 and 2025 tests, covering 16,237 miles in roughly ten months, followed by a slower but still substantial 9,705 miles over the subsequent twelve months leading to the 2026 test. Such sustained high mileage accelerates the wear of consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components. While the MOT record is sparse regarding specific defects, the sheer volume of use implies these high-wear items have endured significant stress. Given the absence of specific mechanical advisories in the record, a buyer must focus on the physical toll of the high mileage rather than documented recurring faults. A thorough inspection should target the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points, checking for corrosion or cracking exacerbated by prolonged use. The braking system requires close scrutiny; high-mileage commercial vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and scored brake discs that might not trigger an MOT failure but compromise performance. Suspension coil springs and bushes will likely exhibit fatigue, so a dynamic road test is essential to identify clunks or wandering steering. Exhaust emissions should be verified under load, as high-mileage hybrid systems can mask degrading catalytic converters or lambda sensor inefficiencies that a static MOT might miss.
