2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EA58 AGY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 7 November 2025 at 132,828 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addresses issues immediately following test failures. While the record shows a pattern of failures followed by instant passes in both 2024 and 2025, these suggest that minor mechanical adjustments or consumable items are being rectified rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 132,828 miles over 18 years, the Mondeo averages approximately 7,379 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical usage for a family car of this age and suggests excessive strain on the drivetrain or heavy suspension components. Between October 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 7,625 miles, while a further 2,862 miles were logged between November 2024 and November 2025. This consistent mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent seals from drying out and brakes seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the undercarriage and structural integrity, as the clean MOT history does not guarantee the absence of surface corrosion or thinning metal common in older F. Given the age and mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. Since the recent test records do not list specific defects, the failures were likely related to minor items like light bulbs, wipers, or slight tyre tread issues that were corrected prior to the retests.
