2021 Ford Tourneo Custom 320TI X Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · HT21 SPU

The 2021 Ford Tourneo Custom currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 May 2026 at 77,306 miles, with no dangerous or major defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a pattern of recurring tyre advisories has emerged. In the most recent test, the tester flagged a slightly damaged or perishing offside rear tyre, repeating an identical advisory noted on the April 2025 certificate at 70,765 miles. This suggests the offside rear tyre has been deteriorating over a sustained period and may not have been replaced or adequately monitored since the previous inspection. The May 2024 test at 64,705 miles was entirely clean, indicating the tyre wear issues have developed primarily in the last two years of ownership. The vehicle has covered approximately 15,461 miles per year since registration, which is high for a large MPV of this age. The recorded intervals show a gap of roughly twelve months between the May 2024 and April 2025 tests, during which 6,060 miles were added, followed by another year to May 2026 covering 6,541 miles. This consistent annual accumulation points to sustained, intensive daily use rather than long periods of standing. High-mileage patterns like this accelerate wear on consumable components, particularly tyres, brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems, all of which should be inspected with greater scrutiny than a lower-mileage equivalent. A buyer should pay particular attention to the condition of the offside rear tyre, as the repeated advisory for cracking and perishing indicates potential sidewall degradation that could lead to a sudden failure if left unaddressed. The nearside front tyre also drew attention in April 2025 for edge wear, cuts in the tread, and inner sidewall damage, suggesting possible alignment issues or kerbing damage that may have persisted. Beyond tyres, the high annual mileage warrants a thorough inspection of the front brake discs and pads, rear brake calipers for any tendency to bind, and the suspension setup including coil springs, drop links, and front and rear bushes. The exhaust system and DPF should be checked for efficiency given the mileage, and any signs of corrosion on the underbody, sills, or brake lines should be treated as a priority.
