2017 Ford Mondeo 1.5L Petrol · BL66 ADZ

The 2017 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 31,781 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 and 2024 also carried no advisories. The single failure logged on 2 January 2024 at 26,766 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record the vehicle shows no recurring wear items, corrosion, or structural concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 31,781 against roughly nine years of age, an average of about 3,531 miles per year. The odometer moved from 25,206 on 4 January 2023 to 26,766 on 2 January 2024, then 27,446 by 18 December 2024, and 31,781 by January 2026. This low, gradually accumulating pattern points to light use with likely extended standing periods. The clean test history offers no evidence of skipped consumable replacement through failure, though sparse entries leave little visibility of intermediate wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and probable idle intervals that accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion. The tester recorded no advisories on brake binding or exhaust emissions, yet standing vehicles commonly develop seized calipers and flat-spotted tyres unseen in an MOT. Verify the 2 January 2024 failure cause with DVSA, as the zero-defect entry remains anomalous. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard with no deferred tyres, wipers, or structural repairs flagged. The absence of repeated minor faults suggests conscientious storage more than high-frequency use. Given the clean record, mechanical risk reads low, but confirm underbody condition and fluid degradation before purchase.
