2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · GX65 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑13 resulted in a failure, with the registration plate lamp inoperative and multiple advisories still present. The pattern of rear brake‑pad wear, disc pitting and tyre deterioration has persisted across successive tests, indicating a worsening trend rather than improvement. At 203,252 miles the car has accumulated roughly 18,500 miles per year since 2015, a high figure for an 11‑year‑old model. MOT entries are recorded annually, the last being only eight months before the current date, so the data set is recent and consistent. The mileage jump from 112,958 miles in November 2024 to 203,252 miles in November 2025 reflects a substantial increase in usage or possible odometer discrepancy. A buyer should inspect the rear brake assembly for thin pads and any disc corrosion, test the rear brake for binding, and examine tyre condition on both axles for edge wear and cracking. The registration plate housing and lamp should be checked for deterioration and operation, as should the front fog lamp and child‑seat fittings that have repeatedly obstructed belt inspection. A visual scan for rust on the rear panel and a check of the suspension mounts for knock‑noise indications are also warranted. Overall the vehicle shows advanced wear on consumables and recurring mechanical issues, suggesting that regular maintenance was not consistently applied. The recent failure indicates the car is not currently roadworthy and would require corrective work before any further use.
