1998 FORD MONDEO1.8L PETROL

The 1998 Ford Mondeo has a clean MOT history, with all recorded tests from 2006 to 2009 showing "PASSED" status and no defects. The most recent MOT was on 2009-04-30 at 119,954 miles, indicating the vehicle has not been tested for over 17 years. This long gap raises concerns about unverified maintenance and potential undetected issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 119,954 miles is unusually low for its age (28 years in 2026), averaging just 4,284 miles annually. This suggests either minimal use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation (e.g., rubber seals, fluids, or electrical systems). However, the absence of defects in the MOT records does not confirm the car’s current condition, as the tests stopped over a decade ago. The MOT pattern shows no recurring faults or worsening trends, as all results were positive. However, the lack of recent data means there is no evidence to assess whether the vehicle’s condition has deteriorated, stabilized, or improved in the intervening years. The low mileage alone does not conclusively indicate wear or under-use, as it could reflect careful storage or infrequent driving. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the engine, transmission, and suspension for signs of age-related wear, such as leaks, corrosion, or stiff components.
