FORD MONDEO2016 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 53,742 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though it shows a recent shift toward reactive maintenance regarding consumable components. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the two most recent inspections flagged advisories for tyre wear, suggesting a potential lapse in proactive equipment checks as the vehicle ages. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 53,742 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,374 miles per year. The usage appears consistent across the records, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 6,000 miles in the final year. This low annual mileage typically implies less internal mechanical stress on the engine and gearbox, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and wheel alignment, as the recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edge in both 2025 and 2026 indicate potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The tester noted the nearside rear tyre was reaching the legal limit, which requires immediate replacement regardless. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized caliper pistons, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface rust and uneven binding that does not always trigger an MOT failure.
