2017 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · YR67 ABK

The 2026‑02‑18 MOT at 78,258 miles passed, confirming the Mondeo is presently roadworthy, though the tester recorded worn front and rear suspension arm pins or bushes and an inoperative rear registration lamp, indicating a stable maintenance trend with only minor recurring issues. The mileage has risen from 35,037 miles in September 2021 to 78,258 miles in February 2026, averaging about 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old vehicle; the intervals between tests are regular, with the largest jump occurring between September 2022 and February 2024, suggesting continuous driving rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension arm bushes and pins for excessive play, examine the front and rear brake pads and discs for wear or scoring, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, test the rear registration lamp and ensure the child‑seat belt anchorage can be fully assessed, and check that the windscreen wipers clear the glass effectively. While the vehicle shows no evidence of major structural rust or catastrophic failure, the repeated tyre and brake wear points to periodic neglect of basic upkeep, so a thorough in‑person assessment of these components is essential before purchase.
