2005 Ford Mondeo 2.2L Diesel · BN05 AAZ

The 2005 Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 May 2025 at 179,504 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2024 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects in the period examined. Mileage sits at 179,504 miles against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 8,548 miles per year which is typical for this model's age. The records show steady annual use between 2023 and 2025, rising from 161,122 to 179,504 miles. A clear gap exists between the 8 March 2021 test at 147,832 miles and the 25 May 2023 test at 161,122 miles, with no recorded MOT in 2022. The March 2021 entry shows a fail on 3 March at 147,827 miles followed by a pass five days later at 147,832 miles, though the record lists no defects for either, suggesting an administrative or unlogged rectification rather than a mechanical fault. The clean pass history gives no specific component failures to chase, but a buyer should still inspect the Mondeo in person for age-related wear not captured by MOT pass criteria. At this mileage the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will likely show fatigue even if within legal limits. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be checked given the vehicle's 2005 manufacture date and the unexplained 2022 MOT gap which may mask a period of outdoor standing. Given the sparse but clean record, the previous owner appears to have maintained basic test compliance, though the 2021 near-immediate retest and missing 2022 certificate warrant a question on storage and usage. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm drivetrain condition and exhaust emissions ahead of purchase.
