FORD MONDEO2014 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable mechanical history, having secured five consecutive clean passes without a single advisory or failure recorded since October 2021. The most recent inspection on 3 October 2025 at 159,265 miles confirms that the car remains in a roadworthy condition, showing no signs of deteriorating structural integrity or failing safety systems. This consistent performance suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and diligent ownership over the last five years. Accumulating 159,265 miles over twelve years equates to an average of approximately 13,272 miles per annum, which sits above the typical UK usage profile. The mileage progression remains linear and predictable, with the vehicle covering roughly 7,000 miles between each annual test. This consistent usage pattern indicates the car has been kept in regular service rather than suffering from the mechanical degradation often associated with long-term storage or inconsistent operation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that naturally reach the end of their service life at this mileage, despite the clean MOT record. Given the Mondeo platform, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these parts frequently escape notice during basic inspections but will impact ride quality and handling. Check the brake discs and pads for signs of thinning or uneven wear, and inspect the underside for any early-stage surface corrosion that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT advisory. While the electronic records are pristine, a thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks or perished rubber hoses remains prudent to ensure the vehicle continues its reliable service trend.
