This Tourneo Custom passes its MOT on the first attempt 83% of the time, which is slightly above the UK average of 80% and suggests solid baseline reliability for a people carrier of this age. However, one in five examples (20.1%) has recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a meaningful buyer concern that warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The median mileage of 53,305 miles is reasonable for a four-year-old van, and the average of 2.7 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear rather than systemic problems. When failures do occur, they average 0.81 per vehicle, suggesting they're not widespread across the fleet—but check the full MOT history of any specific example you're considering, as dangerous defects can reoccur.
