2017 Ford Tourneo Custom 310 T-Nium Tdci 2.0L Heavy oil · PH15 BUS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 April 2025 at 148,971 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent history of passes with no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. A failure on 9 April 2025 was resolved within a week, though the lack of listed defects for that failure suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue. Mileage accumulation has increased dramatically in the last two years. Between 13 April 2023 and 12 April 2024, the vehicle covered 39,453 miles. This trend accelerated further between April 2024 and April 2025, with the odometer climbing from 104,216 to 148,971 miles. This represents a gain of 44,755 miles in a single year, far exceeding the average annual usage for a vehicle of this age. Such rapid mileage growth places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. High-mileage Transit-based platforms often develop corrosion on the sills and chassis rails, which may not always be flagged if the vehicle has been recently treated. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for excessive wear given the recent heavy usage. The drivetrain, specifically the clutch and gearbox, requires a thorough test drive to ensure there is no slipping or hesitation. Given the 148,971 total miles, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
