FORD MONDEO1999 · 1.8L PETROL

The 1999 Ford Mondeo has a limited MOT history, with the most recent recorded test on 2010-02-11, when it passed with 91,695 miles. However, a prior failure on 2010-02-09 revealed multiple critical issues, including a fractured offside rear anti-roll bar linkage, brake system leaks, and excessive corrosion on suspension components. These defects suggest significant structural and braking vulnerabilities, with some issues potentially compromising safety. The vehicle’s 91,695-mile record, at 27 years old, equates to roughly 3,396 miles annually—a low figure for its age. This could indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may have contributed to corrosion and component degradation. However, the lack of MOT data post-2010 prevents assessing whether these issues were resolved or if new problems emerged. Recurring defects in the MOT history include corrosion on brake pipes, suspension components, and anti-roll bar linkages, alongside brake system inefficiencies. These patterns point to ongoing wear in critical areas, particularly where moisture or neglect may have accelerated deterioration. While the 2010 failure included multiple severe issues, the subsequent pass suggests repairs were made, but no further records confirm long-term stability. The vehicle’s low mileage does not definitively indicate light use; it could also reflect storage, which might leave components in a deteriorated state despite low mileage.
