2019 Ford Tourneo Custom

CarHunch analysed 1,286 real MOT records for the 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom passes its MOT first time in 87.2% of cases, well above the UK average of 80%, which is a solid endorsement of its overall reliability. However, 18.4% of these vehicles have suffered a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth noting if you're buying one—get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes and suspension.

At nearly 50,000 miles median for a five-year-old van, these are sensibly used vehicles, and the average of 0.83 failures per test suggests most issues are minor when they do appear. With 4.4 advisories per vehicle on average, budget for routine maintenance items like worn components and fluid top-ups, and always ask the seller for full service history before committing to a purchase.

What to check before buying a 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
