1998 FORD MONDEO1.8L DIESEL

The 1998 Ford Mondeo has a limited MOT history, with only two recorded tests: one in 2005 (178,405 miles) and another in 2006 (190,137 miles), both resulting in a "PASSED" rating with no defects. These entries are over 15 years old, meaning the vehicle has not undergone an MOT inspection since 2006. This absence of recent testing raises concerns about its current condition, as MOTs are required annually after the first three years of ownership. The recorded mileage of 190,137 miles, combined with the car’s age (28 years in 2026), suggests an average annual usage of around 6,791 miles. This aligns with typical mileage for its age, but the lack of MOTs in over 15 years means there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance or safety checks. The vehicle may have been stored for extended periods, which can lead to issues like fluid degradation, battery failure, or corrosion, even if mileage appears low. No defects were recorded in the two MOTs, indicating no immediate safety-critical issues at those points in time. However, the absence of recent data makes it impossible to assess whether the vehicle’s condition has deteriorated since 2006. The trend is unclear due to the lack of updates, and the long gap in testing means potential wear or faults could have developed unnoticed. The mileage of 190,137 miles is consistent with average usage for a 28-year-old vehicle, but without recent MOTs or service records, it is difficult to confirm whether the car has been well-maintained.
