2018 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · EF10 AAA

As a 1999cc hybrid, this Mondeo is designed for better fuel efficiency than its pure petrol or diesel counterparts, which helps offset the typical running costs of a large family car. Tax bands and insurance groups will vary based on the specific trim level, but the hybrid powertrain generally offers a more economical profile for mixed driving.

Typical maintenance for this model will involve standard servicing, but you should budget for more frequent tyre replacements given the weight of hybrid batteries. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are expected to fall between £1,400 and £1,800 depending on annual mileage and driving style.

Based on the most recent MOT history from September 2025, you must closely inspect the nearside front tyre for uneven wear, as the previous record noted it was worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This could indicate an alignment issue. You should also examine the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring, as both the nearside and offside rear discs were flagged as worn or pitted.

Additionally, check the front registration plate to ensure it is in good condition and not deteriorated, as this was noted in the 2025 test. Finally, though it was a minor issue in 2022, ensure the windscreen wipers clear the glass effectively to avoid a repeat of previous failures.
