2017 FORD MONDEO2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026. The maintenance trend is currently stable, as evidenced by four consecutive clean passes without major defects. However, the most recent inspection introduced an advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin, indicating that while the vehicle is legal for the road, the braking system is beginning to require preventative attention to avoid a future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light to moderate commuting, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. This low-intensity usage is typical for a car of this age and generally results in less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain components. The data shows a steady accumulation of miles, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles recorded between each annual test. There are no significant gaps in the history that suggest long periods of stagnation which can often lead to seized components or degradation of rubber-based parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system, given the recent warning regarding thin pads. Because the annual mileage is relatively low, it is also advisable to check the condition of the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, which can occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to keep the components clean. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyres should be inspected for dry rot or cracking, as age-related degradation often affects these areas more than mileage-related wear on low-use vehicles.
