1999 FORD MONDEO2.5L Petrol

The 1999 Ford Mondeo shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 21 July 2022 at 88,909 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle passed with no defects recorded at that examination. Prior to this, the test on 15 July 2021 at 86,650 miles and 16 July 2020 at 85,385 miles also returned passes with no advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the three-year window. The recorded mileage of 88,909 against a 27-year lifespan equates to roughly 3,293 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use for a Mondeo of this era. Between the July 2020 test at 85,385 miles and the July 2022 test at 88,909 miles the car covered only 3,524 miles, a pattern consistent with short local journeys or extended periods off the road. The two failed entries on 21 July 2022 at 88,903 miles and 15 July 2021 at 86,650 miles carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation failures at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's age, as the MOT record lists no advisories on chassis or sills but 27-year-old Ford underbody protection will likely have degraded. The low annual mileage suggests suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may have suffered from standing rather than wear, with seized components a real risk on a car used so little. Verify the brake discs for surface rust and check the exhaust emissions system, as intermittent use often masks idle-related faults not captured in a clean test pass.
