2024 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 Tnium Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MM24 BVJ

The 2024 Ford Tourneo Custom has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two tests conducted. The most recent inspection on 14 May 2025, at 54,124 miles, confirmed full roadworthiness, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural failures at that point. While the absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks, the sparse data—limited to just two tests—precludes a deeper assessment of long-term reliability trends. The final test date of May 2025 means the current MOT is now over a year out of date, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly given the high annual mileage accumulation. The recorded mileage of 54,124 miles over just two years—an average of approximately 27,000 miles annually—is significantly higher than typical for a vehicle of this age. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, and drivetrain elements. The abrupt jump from 274 miles at the May 2024 test to 54,124 miles by May 2025 suggests either intensive commercial use or a period of neglect before the vehicle was brought in for its second MOT. Such a pattern often correlates with deferred maintenance, particularly on items like brake pads, tyres, and fluid levels, which may not have been addressed consistently. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, including the condition of bushes, dampers, and coil springs for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding, as these are common failure points under heavy usage. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be scrutinised, as the vehicle’s mileage suggests these may have been replaced recently or could be approaching their service life. Finally, the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody should be checked for corrosion, especially in areas prone to salt damage, given the vehicle’s likely exposure to varied driving conditions.
