What the reviews say

• The Tourneo Custom V362 is a large passenger/commercial vehicle, initially offered with the 2.2 TDCi and later the 2.0 EcoBlue diesel.[1]one sourceTourneo Custom V362
• Tourneo Connect/Custom owners value its practicality, familiar mechanicals and acceptable maintenance costs when the vehicle is well kept.[2]one source
• In 2024 DVSA data, the Tourneo Custom averaged an 88% MOT pass rate across 5,333 tests, six percentage points above the all-model average.[3]one source
• Tourneo Connect/Custom reliability depends heavily on the engine, transmission and maintenance history; simpler, regularly serviced versions make the best impression.[2]one source

Typical faults

• On the V362 2.0 EcoBlue, the oil-pump drive belt runs in oil and can disintegrate, causing oil-pressure loss; the source also reports frequent AdBlue faults.[1]one sourceTourneo Custom V362

  80 000+ km · 2.0 EcoBlue

• On the 1.6 HDi (DV6), the turbo oil-channel strainer can clog, while leaking copper injector washers can let soot seize the injector into the head.[2]one source

  120 000–220 000 km · 1.6 HDi (DV6)

• The 1.0 EcoBoost wet timing belt can disintegrate and cause severe engine damage.[2]one source

  60 000–140 000 km · 1.0 EcoBoost

• On urban-driven diesels, short trips and cold starts can prevent DPF regeneration and clog the EGR, raising consumption and eventually causing power loss or limp mode.[2]one source

  120 000–250 000 km · diesel

• An ageing 12V battery can cause a no-start condition and erratic electronics, especially in cold weather or after short trips.[2]one source

Which engine and version to take

• The source recommends the 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 TDCi, though their service history, DPF and EGR should still be checked before purchase.[2]one source

What to avoid

• Treat the 1.0 EcoBoost with particular caution because its wet timing belt can disintegrate.[2]one source
• Choose a V362 2.0 EcoBlue only after carefully checking oil pressure, belt-service records and the AdBlue system.[1]one sourceTourneo Custom V362

What to check at the inspection

• On a V362 with the 2.0 EcoBlue, check oil pressure, belt-service records and AdBlue faults.[1]one sourceTourneo Custom V362
• For a diesel, inspect DPF soot load and recent regeneration results; a rising oil level can indicate diesel dilution.[2]one source
• During the test drive, load the engine for an extended period and watch for limp mode or smoke under acceleration.[2]one source
• Load-test the 12V battery and measure alternator charging voltage at idle and at higher engine speed.[2]one source
• On a high-mileage V362 manual, assess operation and noises at 200,000–300,000 km and scan the fault memory.[1]one sourceTourneo Custom V362
• For a 2023-built V362, use the VIN to verify the passenger-airbag instruction recall, especially if a rear-facing child seat will be used.[1]one sourceTourneo Custom V362
