2016 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · AF16 AEJ

The 2016 Ford Mondeo shows a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 216,121 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record is clean, showing no recurring wear items or structural concerns raised by testers. Mileage stands at 216,121 on the 2025 test, against 200,441 in September 2024 and 178,129 in September 2023. That equates to roughly 21,600 miles per year, well above typical for a ten-year-old car. The annual increments are consistent at just under 22,000 miles each year, indicating steady high-use motoring rather than sporadic or standing periods. No gaps exist between tests; the DVSA entries are dated identically each September with paired fail and pass logs showing administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the Mondeo from consumable fatigue on a 216,000-mile drivetrain. Examine underneath for corrosion and check exhaust emissions under load during a road test. Previous owners kept the test schedule tight and cleared each September entry without recorded defects. That suggests basic statutory compliance, though the duplicated fail-pass pairs on 2024 and 2025 dates imply paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than neglected repairs.
