FORD MONDEO2020 · 2.0L Diesel

The Ford Mondeo presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 3 June 2025 at 108,472 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, though an anomalous failure on 30 May 2024 at 102,995 miles with no defects logged interrupts an otherwise clean sequence. The subsequent pass on 3 June 2024 at identical mileage confirms the vehicle satisfied requirements shortly after. Recorded mileage of 108,472 against a 2020 model year indicates high use at roughly 18,079 miles per annum. The odometer jumped from 79,173 at the 9 June 2023 test to 102,995 by 3 June 2024, a 23,822-mile accumulation in twelve months, then slowed to just 5,477 miles by June 2025. Such variation suggests a change in usage pattern, possibly fleet or commuting earlier life followed by lighter recent use. The MOT dataset remains sparse, with only four entries and zero advisories, limiting insight into consumable wear. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from verifying high-mileage components in person. An inspector should scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, alongside exhaust emissions and structural integrity for corrosion. The May 2024 failure with no defects logged warrants checking the test certificate and V5C to confirm it was a procedural anomaly rather than concealed fault. Previous keepers sustained a pass rate that avoided formal advisories across three examinations, suggesting routine maintenance kept pace with the early high mileage. Still, tyre tread and wiper blades demand visual check as minor consumables, while drivetrain mounts may show wear unseen by MOT tests.
