FORD MONDEO2008 · 2.0L Petrol

The vehicle appears to be in a stable mechanical condition based on the available records, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 27 June 2022 at 118,207 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car met the minimum legal roadworthiness standards at that time, but there is a gap of over four years between the last recorded test and the current date of 14 July 2026. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,567 miles per year. Between 29 May 2019 and 27 June 2022, the odometer rose from 105,610 to 118,207 miles. This represents a steady usage rate of approximately 4,200 miles per year during that three-year window. The lack of recorded defects across multiple tests indicates a history of basic compliance, although the failures on 29 May 2019 and 26 June 2020 were resolved immediately on the same day. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. While the MOT history is clean, the four-year absence of testing since 2022 is a major red flag. Vehicles that stand idle for long periods often develop seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded suspension bushes. The absence of advisories in the 2022 test does not account for the natural deterioration of rubber components or the onset of structural corrosion over the subsequent years. Focus the inspection on the underbody for signs of rust, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and verify that the engine fluids have not degraded due to inactivity. Given the age of this Mondeo, a full mechanical health check is essential to ensure the vehicle is actually roadworthy today, as the official record is too old to provide a current guarantee of safety.
