2011 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · SV11 AHD

The 2011 Ford Mondeo exhibits a maintenance pattern marked by inconsistent MOT outcomes without recorded defects, raising concerns about reliability. The most recent test on 2024-05-22 at 73,728 miles resulted in a failure, yet no specific issues were documented. This contrasts with prior tests, including a 2023-05-02 pass at 68,401 miles and a 2022-05-04 pass at 67,928 miles, which similarly showed no defects. The absence of recorded faults during failures suggests either incomplete testing or unaddressed systemic issues. The vehicle’s roadworthiness remains uncertain, as the lack of detailed findings limits actionable insights for a buyer. Mileage progression shows a low annual average of 4,915 miles over 15 years, indicating light use or prolonged inactivity. However, the MOT history reveals irregular testing intervals, with multiple assessments clustered in 2022 and 2023. Notably, two failed tests on 2022-05-03 and 2023-04-20 occurred at identical mileages (67,928 and 68,398 miles), raising questions about procedural consistency. The gap between the last test in 2024 and the current date of 2026-07-13 exceeds two years, further complicating assessments of ongoing maintenance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. The braking system requires scrutiny for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, particularly given the lack of recorded defects during failures. Structural integrity checks for corrosion, especially in underbody areas, are critical, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate rust. Exhaust emissions and alignment should also be verified, as these components often degrade without visible signs. The vehicle’s MOT history does not confirm these issues, but the pattern of unexplained failures necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
