Ford Tourneo Custom (2020)
2020 Ford Tourneo Custom
CarHunch analysed 247 real MOT records for the 2020 Ford Tourneo Custom. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Ford Tourneo Custom is a solid performer, with an 89% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 12.2% of vehicles, so this isn't a major safety concern for buyers.
At nearly 50,000 miles median (59,700 average), these vans are racking up genuine use, yet they're still averaging only 0.64 failures per test—suggesting the mechanicals hold up well under commercial or family duty. The high advisory count of 3.5 per vehicle points to routine maintenance items rather than structural problems, so budget for regular servicing but don't expect surprise nasties; get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and brake wear, which typically show up first on high-mileage vans.
What to check before buying a 2020 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.
