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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from routine wear to mechanical concern. While the most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 112,037 miles passed, the tester flagged a black smoke emission during acceleration and a damaged offside rear outer tyre. This indicates a regression from the clean records seen in mid-2025, suggesting that high-mileage usage is beginning to affect the fuel system or combustion efficiency. The mileage accumulation is aggressive for a five-year-old van, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage is evident between April 2024 (74,047 miles) and April 2025 (96,525 miles), where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in just twelve months. The subsequent 15,510 miles covered in the following year confirms a consistent pattern of heavy-duty commercial operation, which places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the undercarriage. The April 2024 test highlighted thin pads and worn discs on all corners, and while these were likely addressed, the high mileage suggests they may be nearing their limit again. The black smoke noted in June 2026 requires a diagnostic check to rule out faulty injectors, a failing turbo, or restricted EGR valves, as these are not standard consumable items. Additionally, the suspension bushes and shocks should be checked for play, as high annual mileage typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components in heavy-use vehicles.
