2015 FORD MONDEO2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-07 at 114,366 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical failed test on the same date and mileage complicates the assessment. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or repeated testing without identified issues. Previous tests in 2025 and 2024 showed stable performance, with no defects noted in the passed MOTs. The lack of recurring mechanical faults in the record implies the car has maintained roadworthiness, though the 2026 failures without recorded defects raise questions about testing accuracy or temporary compliance measures. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 11-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,397 miles annually. The 2024 test at 99,379 miles and subsequent 2025 test at 107,049 miles indicate gradual accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes in usage. The 2026 tests at 114,366 miles suggest the vehicle has been driven consistently since its last major inspection. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2024 MOTs, despite annual testing, reflects a generally well-maintained vehicle, though the 2026 failures without specifics limit confidence in its current condition. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOTs without recorded defects may mask underlying issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny due to their susceptibility to wear over 114,000 miles. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these are common areas for degradation in older vehicles. While the MOT history lacks explicit warnings, the 2026 failures highlight the need for a detailed mechanical check to confirm compliance with safety standards.
