2019 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.0L Diesel · WH19 UYU

The 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in its most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 13,561 miles, confirming it passed without advisories or failures. The trend is stable, with the vehicle consistently meeting roadworthiness standards across all five tests since 2022. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests that routine maintenance has been addressed, and there are no immediate signs of mechanical neglect or structural compromise. The only anomaly in the record is the duplicate entry for 9 July 2024—one pass and one fail at the same mileage—though this appears to be an administrative error rather than a technical issue, given the subsequent clean pass in August 2023. The vehicle’s low mileage of just 13,561 miles over seven years—averaging around 1,937 miles annually—is notably below typical usage for a commercial or family vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are irregular: the 2024 entries both occurred at 9,687 miles, suggesting a possible delay in testing, while the 2023 test at 7,672 miles indicates minimal driving between August 2023 and July 2024. This pattern could imply the vehicle has spent extended periods in storage or seen very light use, which may explain the lack of wear on consumables. However, it also raises questions about whether the engine and drivetrain have been exercised enough to identify latent issues, such as oil leaks or suspension wear. Given the absence of defects, a buyer should still verify key components in person. Focus on the suspension—check for worn bushes, degraded coil springs, or uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues despite the clean MOT. Inspect the brakes thoroughly, paying close attention to disc thickness, caliper binding, and pad wear, even though no advisories were recorded. The exhaust system should be examined for signs of corrosion or leaks, particularly around mountings, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop rust in damp conditions. Finally, review the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and fluid top-ups, as the low mileage may mask deferred maintenance. Structural integrity remains the primary concern with low-mileage vehicles of this age. Look for corrosion in wheel arches, underseal deterioration, and any signs of poor bodywork repairs, which could compromise safety. The MOT record provides no red flags, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the basic roadworthiness test.
