Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 Tnium Eblue?

This Tourneo Custom is slightly more reliable than average, with an 84.8% first-time pass rate compared to the UK's 80%, and a low dangerous defect rate of 13.3% means structural or safety failures are uncommon in this cohort. The 0.63 average failures per vehicle suggests most issues are minor when they do occur.

At nearly 49,000 miles on average, these vehicles are running well for their age, and the 3.3 advisories per car indicate routine wear items rather than systemic problems—typical for a working van with reasonable mileage. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on exhaust systems and brake condition, since these tend to be the main failure points in this model.

The 2020 Ford Tourneo Custom 320 Tnium Eblue passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (86.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 86.4% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 3.3 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 767 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
