2016 FORD MONDEO2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 15 January 2026 at 28,830 miles which resulted in no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean passes, suggesting that mechanical issues are addressed promptly. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the minor faults noted in previous years have been rectified without recurring failures in the subsequent inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,883 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 5,759 miles, indicating a consistent pattern of low-intensity use or long storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also increases the risk of age degradation in rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and seals, which can perish if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system, as the January 2024 test at 24,845 miles flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear. Although these were cleared in later tests, the inspector should verify that the discs were actually replaced and that the calipers have not seized due to the low-usage cycle. Additionally, the 2019 report of uneven inner tyre wear suggests a past alignment issue; a physical check is necessary to ensure the current geometry is not causing premature wear on the front tyres.
