2018 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.0L Diesel · YT68 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history spanning from 2019 to the most recent test on 6 March 2026. Every recorded inspection has resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories noted. This lack of recorded issues suggests a consistent standard of upkeep or a vehicle that has avoided common mechanical failures during its testing intervals. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 31,280 miles per year. The data shows significant usage increases between specific intervals, such as the 41,557-mile jump between the September 2020 test at 80,305 miles and the September 2021 test at 100,125 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 17,597 miles between the September 2024 test at 231,619 miles and the September 2025 test at 249,216 miles. This high-intensity usage pattern places substantial stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. While the MOT records show no failures, the sheer volume of mileage recorded at 250,244 miles necessitates a rigorous physical inspection. A buyer should focus on the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often reach the end of their service life under such heavy load. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for excessive wear or binding, despite the clean records. The high mileage also warrants a thorough examination of the turbocharger, timing components, and clutch assembly. Given the heavy usage, checking for signs of oil leaks or excessive exhaust emissions is essential to ensure the engine remains healthy. Any inspection should also prioritise checking the structural integrity of the chassis for signs of fatigue or corrosion that may not have been captured in the standard MOT testing parameters.
