FORD MONDEO2002 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 31,147 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following a series of clean passes over the previous three years. This suggest that the essential mechanical and safety components monitored by the tester are currently being maintained to an acceptable standard despite the vehicle's significant age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. Between June 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 2,742 miles, indicating it is used only for very short-distance trips or has remained stationary for extended periods. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use often leads to age-related degradation of fluids and rubber seals. The consistent passing results despite the low usage suggest the vehicle has not suffered from catastrophic mechanical failure. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of rubber-based components that perish due to age and lack of movement rather than mileage alone. The June 2023 failure regarding both windscreen wipers was rectified quickly, but the buyer should check the condition of the wiper blades and suspension bushes for cracking. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and wheel arches, is vital as surface corrosion can still develop even on cars that are rarely driven. Additionally, verify that the brake discs are not heavily pitted from rust, a common is common for vehicles that sit for long durations.
