2019 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 Zetec Eblue 2.0L Diesel · GL69 LBX

The most recent MOT on 13 April 2026 was passed, the only comment being an advisory about a near‑side rear tyre containing a nail. Earlier in the record the vehicle has consistently passed, with a single major failure recorded on 30 May 2025 for a non‑functioning windscreen washer. Apart from that isolated electrical fault, the trend is stable – the car has cleared successive tests without any recorded safety‑critical defects, though tyre wear has been flagged on two occasions in late 2023. At 102,329 mi the 2019 Tourneo Custom has accumulated roughly 14‑15 000 mi per annum, which is above the typical UK average of around 10‑12 000 mi per year. This level of usage accelerates wear on consumables such as tyre tread, brake discs and pads, suspension bushings and engine oil. The mileage also suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, reducing the risk of calendar‑related corrosion but increasing the likelihood of progressive component fatigue, particularly on the front axle and steering linkage. A prospective buyer should give the tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Verify the depth of the tread on all four wheels, look for side‑wall cracking, bulges or embedded foreign objects, and check the DOT code to confirm the tyre age is not beyond six years, when rubber perishing becomes a concern. During a test drive listen for any clunk, knock or excessive vibration when turning, braking or traversing bumps – symptoms that may indicate worn front suspension bushes, deteriorated coil springs or loose steering components. Examine the brake discs for scoring, rust, or uneven wear and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness; any pulsation or shudder under braking would point to warped rotors or glazed pads that will need replacement soon. Because the windscreen washer system failed a major test in 2025, confirm that the pump now operates correctly, the washer jets are unobstructed and there is no leakage from the reservoir or lines. With the vehicle’s age, also check the 12 V battery for terminal corrosion and verify its cranking voltage, as batteries over five years often lose capacity. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil, coolant or brake fluid leaks, and ask for evidence of regular oil and filter changes, as high mileage demands timely fluid servicing to protect the timing chain, turbocharger and transmission. A full service history, including any recent suspension or brake component replacements, will give further confidence in the car’s ongoing roadworthiness.
