2022 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 TI Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · WN72 EPO

Despite a notably high annual mileage, this Tourneo Custom presents a clean DVSA record with no recorded advisories, defects, or structural concerns across its testing history. The most recent assessment on 29 January 2026 resulted in a clean pass, reinforcing a pattern of consistent roadworthiness established by the prior pass on 8 September 2025. A second entry on that same date shows a failure with no defects recorded, which almost certainly represents a retest following rectification immediately after the initial failure rather than a mechanical decline. Overall, the trajectory is one of stable compliance, with the vehicle clearing every category of inspection without so much as a worn tyre or weeping seal being flagged. For a commercial-derived people carrier of this size and weight, such an unblemished record is a positive indicator, though the absence of advisories also means there is very little granular data to predict component wear. With 64,084 miles recorded on a 2022 model, this Tourneo is averaging roughly 16,021 miles per year, which is high even for a commercial-rooted vehicle and well above the typical private-use benchmark. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history that would suggest extended periods of standing or off-road storage, and the back-to-back tests in September 2025 and January 2026 indicate the vehicle has been in continuous active service. Sustained high mileage of this nature accelerates wear on consumables and drivetrain components that are not always flagged individually at MOT stage, particularly clutch assemblies, dual-mass flywheels, turbocharger bearings, and diesel particulate filter loading. Buyers should also factor in that commercial or shuttle-style use often involves heavy payloads and frequent stop-start driving, which places additional thermal and mechanical stress on the braking system, cooling system, and rear suspension components beyond what the headline mileage alone would suggest. For a prospective buyer, the lack of any flagged items means the inspection must lean more heavily on physical and dynamic checks rather than relying on the MOT history to highlight weak points. Given the mileage profile, a thorough examination of the braking system is warranted, paying close attention to brake disc lipping, pad wear, and any sign of binding calipers which are common under heavy commercial use. On the test drive, listen for clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, and wishbone components wear progressively on high-mileage front-wheel-drive platforms. Any pulling to one side under braking or vibration through the steering wheel could point to warped discs or uneven pad deposition. The drivetrain and engine ancillaries also deserve focused attention given the usage pattern. During a cold start, monitor the exhaust for excessive smoke, particularly blue-tinged smoke which would suggest oil consumption issues or turbo seal wear, and listen for any irregular rattle from the diesel particulate filter or timing chain area. Check the underside for any signs of oil seepage from the sump, turbo lines, or injector seals, and examine coolant hoses for signs of perishing or leaks at the thermostat housing, a known wear point on high-mileage Ford diesels. Finally, verify that the AdBlue system is functioning correctly, as faults here will prevent the vehicle from starting after a countdown period, and confirm that all warning lights extinguish promptly on ignition. With no recorded advisories to guide the inspection, this vehicle rewards buyers who insist on a pre-purchase inspection from a garage familiar with high-mileage commercial vehicles.
