EN55 JFZ MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Mondeo (EN55 JFZ) between December 2008 and February 2020.
The record contains 12 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 13 February 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 15 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Centre Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Front Tyre(s) incorrect because different size tyres are fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)”.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2005 model year cars.
- TDCi Injector & DMF FailureSerious
The 2.0 and 2.2 TDCi Duratorq engines use a high-pressure Delphi common-rail fuel system notorious for failing injectors. Excessive leak-off drops common-rail pressure under load, causing flashing glow plug lights, limp-home mode, and cut-outs. Furthermore, the Delphi high-pressure pump can shed microscopic metallic swarf, circulating through the fuel system and destroying all four injectors. Simultaneously, the dual-mass flywheel (DMF) wears prematurely, creating loud metallic rattles and shedding metallic dust into the starter motor.
- Rear Brake Caliper SeizureModerate
The mechanical handbrake mechanism integrated into the rear brake calipers frequently seizes on the Mk3 Mondeo. Road spray, winter salt, and brake dust penetrate past the rubber shaft seals, causing the external operating lever to corrode and stick. When the handbrake is released in the cabin, the return spring fails to pull the caliper lever back to its rest stop, causing the rear brake pads to drag continuously against the disc. This overheats the rear hubs, glazes pads, and causes MOT handbrake imbalance failures.
- Inlet Manifold Swirl Flap FailureSerious
The 1.8 and 2.0 Duratec HE 16V petrol engines feature variable-geometry plastic swirl flaps inside the intake manifold runners to enhance low-end turbulence. Over time, engine heat and vibration wear the plastic flap bearings loose on their square steel operating spindle. The flaps rattle loudly at idle, and eventually fatigue until the plastic flaps or brass screws detach and are sucked into the combustion chambers, causing catastrophic valve, piston, and cylinder wall destruction.
