FORD MONDEO2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The Ford Mondeo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 23 September 2025 at 56,063 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from September 2021 to September 2025 each yielded a clean result, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening faults nor accumulated advisories over time. Mileage progression shows light use for a ten-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 33,801 miles at the 14 September 2021 test to 39,537 miles on 26 September 2022, then 44,844 miles on 21 September 2023, 51,021 miles on 24 September 2024, and 56,063 miles on 23 September 2025. This equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, well below typical fleet averages. The unbroken yearly cadence suggests the previous owner adhered to timely statutory testing and likely conducted basic upkeep, though low mileage may also mask prolonged standing periods. No tester flagged suspension bushes, brake calipers, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion across the record, so the history gives no component-specific warnings. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common aged Mondeo items: front lower arm bushes, rear coil springs, brake disc wear and underbody rust at chassis legs. Low annual distance can conceal moisture ingress and perished rubber that a static test might not reveal. Given the clean trail, the Mondeo appears a sound candidate, but verify service receipts to confirm fluid changes and cam belt interval. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from ten years of thermal cycling and environmental exposure.
