2008 Ford Mondeo 1.8L Diesel · CK58 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 1 November 2022 at 147,558 miles resulted with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle met all minimum safety and emissions standards at that point in time. However, the lack of a test record for the past three years means the current roadworthiness status is unverified and the mechanical condition may have shifted significantly. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 145,518 miles and the November 2022 test at 147,558 miles, the car covered only 2,040 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests light use or potential periods of being stationary, which often protects rubber components and seals from degradation. The gap since the last recorded de-mot test is now the primary concern, as it exceeds the recommended interval for an older vehicle. Since the history shows no recurring faults, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of components that typically fail with age on the Mondeo. Focus on the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, as rust is common on this generation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, and check the brake calipers for binding issues. Given the three-year gap since the last inspection, checking for fluid leaks and perished rubber hoses is essential before purchase.
