2019 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 Zetec Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YP69 RPY

The vehicle passed its most recent DVSA MOT test on 28 May 2026 with no defects recorded, indicating that at the point of examination it met the minimum statutory roadworthiness requirements. Reviewing the broader history, the Tourneo Custom has demonstrated a largely stable and well-maintained trend, having passed tests annually from 2022 through to 2026 with only minor cosmetic advisories, namely a deteriorated rear number plate in December 2025 and a cracked offside mirror glass on the same inspection. The sole failure on record, dated 14 October 2022 for an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, is a relatively trivial electrical defect that was presumably rectified at the same test to allow the subsequent pass. There are no advisories relating to braking performance, suspension wear, tyre condition, exhaust integrity, or emissions, which collectively suggests the vehicle has been conscientiously maintained by previous keepers and has not yet developed any flagged wear-related issues on test. Recorded mileage stands at 53,621 miles over an approximate seven-year service life, equating to a modest annual average of around 7,660 miles. This figure is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and segment and is neither so low as to suggest extended periods of standing with the associated risks of brake disc corrosion, seized calipers, or tyre perishing, nor so high as to indicate heavy commercial or long-distance use that would accelerate wear on the clutch, turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel, or suspension components. Given the diesel Blue powertrain fitted to this model, the current odometer reading suggests the engine has been worked regularly enough to keep the diesel particulate filter, EGR system, and turbocharger in a healthy operating condition, as long periods of short journeys can otherwise lead to DPF and EGR faults. The continuity of annual MOT tests also implies the vehicle has remained in active service throughout its life. Given the largely clean MOT history and modest mileage accumulation, the prospective buyer should focus on age- and calendar-related deterioration that does not always show up on standard MOT inspections. Tyres fitted to a vehicle of this age may have been in storage or on the car for several years, so the sidewalls should be examined carefully for perishing, cracking, or crazing caused by UV exposure, even if the tread depth remains adequate. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, particularly if it is the original unit, is approaching the typical end of its service life and should be load-tested, as a failing battery can produce no-start conditions or warning light irregularities. Diesel fuel system components, including the fuel filter and any water-in-fuel sensor, should be confirmed as being serviced at the correct intervals per the manufacturer schedule, and the condition of the engine oil and coolant should be physically inspected for signs of degradation or incorrect mix. During a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the suspension, as the Tourneo Custom can be susceptible to wear on the rear leaf spring bushes, anti-roll bar links, and front wishbone bushes, especially given its multi-passenger load-carrying duties. Any clonking or rattling over speed humps or uneven surfaces may indicate worn bushes or deteriorating coil springs, while uneven rear tyre wear could point to spring fatigue or misalignment. The braking system should be tested at low speed for any binding or pulling to one side, which can develop from caliper slide pin corrosion or seized handbrake mechanisms, particularly given that the vehicle is likely to have carried heavy loads. The clutch should be assessed for slipping under load, and the automatic or manual gearbox for smooth, noise-free selection. Finally, a thorough under-bonnet and underfloor inspection for fluid leaks from the power steering rack, rear differential, and any undertray-fitted components is recommended, as is verification that the service book has been stamped at the correct intervals and that the digital service history on Ford's ETIS system corroborates the mileage and work completed.
