Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to emerging cor
When viewing this Mondeo, your primary focus should be on the underside of the vehicle. The 2025 and 2026 MOT records specifically mention surface corrosion on the underside and corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames. You should ask the seller for evidence of any recent rust treatment or welding work that may have addressed these specific points.
Additionally, check the condition of the suspension components. The 2025 MOT highlighted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush. Ensure that any recent maintenance has addressed this, as worn bushes can affect handling and tyre wear. Given the history of windscreen damage and tyre wear near legal limits, check that all current consumables are in good condition.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Mondeo is designed for higher mileage, which should offer reasonable fuel economy on motorways. However, at 115,319 miles, you should budget for more frequent maintenance of diesel-specific components like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim, but the 2.0L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Expect typical maintenance costs for a large family car of this age, but be prepared for potentially higher costs if the reported corrosion progresses or requires structural repair.
A thorough inspection of the chassis is essential. Specifically, look for the 'surface corrosion' noted in the May 2026 MOT and the 'corroded sub-frames' noted in June 2025. While the MOT states the sub-frames were 'not seriously weakened', corrosion is progressive and should be monitored closely.
Inspect the suspension geometry and listen for knocks or knocks over bumps, as the 2025 record noted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush. Finally, check the condition of all four tyres; the vehicle has a documented history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit in 2022 and 2024.
This 2015 grey Ford Mondeo has covered 115,319 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,971 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from tyre and windscreen issues in 2022 and 2024 to more structural concerns regarding corrosion in 2025 and 2026. While it has passed all recent tests, the recurring mentions of sub-frame and suspension component wear suggest a vehicle that has been driven heavily.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, brake pads, and wipers.
